Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear, to remove excess starch.
Combine the washed rice and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 18 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the sushi rice seasoning by mixing rice vinegar and salt until dissolved.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and allow it to cool slightly. Add the vinegar mixture and gently fold it through the rice with a wooden spoon.
Cut the sashimi-grade salmon and tuna into thin slices, ensuring they are even to ensure a harmonious presentation and texture.
Slice the cucumber into thin, half-moon shapes and the avocado into thin slices.
Cut the nori sheet into thin strips using scissors or a sharp knife for garnishing.
To assemble the bowl, divide the seasoned rice between two bowls, shaping it into a mound in each bowl.
Arrange slices of salmon, tuna, cucumber, and avocado artfully around the rice.
Top the bowl with strips of nori, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and sliced green onions.
Serve each bowl with a small dish of soy sauce and a pea-sized amount of wasabi on the side, along with pickled ginger for an authentic and refreshing taste.
