Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
1 tsp salt

For the filling

8 oz sushi-grade salmon, skin removed
1 medium avocado, pitted and thinly sliced
1 medium english cucumber, cut into thin matchsticks

For the rolls

8 sheets nori (dried seaweed)
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

For serving

¼ cup tamari
2 tbsp pickled ginger
wasabi paste, to taste (optional)

Instructions

1
Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water, swirling with your hand, until the water runs nearly clear, about 1–2 minutes. Drain well.
2
Combine the rinsed rice and 2 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rice steam, covered and undisturbed, for 10 minutes.
