Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked sushi rice, seasoned with rice vinegar
  • 2 nori sheets
  • 1/2 cup fresh sushi-grade or cooked salmon, diced
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 1/4 cucumber, cut into thin strips
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Soy sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix diced salmon with mayonnaise and sriracha until well combined.
  2. Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat or clean surface, shiny side down.
  3. Spread half of the sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
  4. Arrange half of the spicy salmon mixture, cucumber strips, and avocado slices in a line along the bottom third of the rice.
  5. Roll the sushi tightly using the mat, sealing the edge with a bit of water.
  6. Repeat with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients.
  7. Slice each roll into 6–7 pieces and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
  8. Serve immediately with soy sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Use sushi-grade salmon if consuming raw; otherwise, opt for cooked or canned salmon.
  • Wet or lightly oil fingers to prevent rice from sticking.
  • Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
