Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1.25 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces salmon fillet
- 1 large avocado
- 4 full-size nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 bamboo sushi mat
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice 2-3 times until the water runs clear, then drain well.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed.
Remove the rice from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Slowly fold in the vinegar mixture with a spatula using a cutting and folding motion.
Allow the rice to cool to room temperature, covered with a damp towel to avoid drying out.
Slice the salmon and avocado into thin strips about 1/4-inch thickness.
In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise and sriracha sauce to make the spicy mayonnaise.
Place a sheet of nori on the bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
Wet your hands with water and evenly spread 1/4 of the sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border on the top edge.
Sprinkle a portion of sesame seeds over the rice.
Place salmon, avocado, and a line of spicy mayonnaise across the center of the rice-covered nori.
Lift the edge of the bamboo mat nearest to you and roll it over the filling, pressing gently to shape it into a cylinder.
Continue to roll until reaching the nori border. Use a little water to seal the edge.
Using a sharp chef's knife, slice the roll into 8 pieces, wiping the blade with a damp cloth between cuts.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the additional rolls.
Serve the spicy salmon sushi rolls with additional soy sauce and wasabi, if desired.
