Ingredients
  

For the Sushi
  • 6 sheets sushi seaweed (nori) These dark, crispy sheets hold everything together.
  • 1 batch prepared sushi rice The star of the show, crucial for texture and taste.
  • 1/2 lb sashimi-grade raw salmon Opt for the freshest salmon available.
  • 4 oz cream cheese Sliced into strips for added creaminess.
  • 1 whole avocado Sliced into tender pieces.
  • to taste soy sauce For serving, to elevate the flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lay your bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface.
  2. Place a sheet of sushi seaweed shiny-side up on the mat.
  3. Spread an even layer of prepared sushi rice over the seaweed, leaving about an inch of space at the top edge.
  4. Layer on thin strips of sashimi-grade raw salmon, strips of cream cheese, and slices of avocado in the center of the rice.
  5. Start rolling the sushi away from you using the mat to help shape it tightly.
  6. Wet a sharp knife and slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces, about six slices per roll.
  7. Serve immediately with soy sauce for dipping.

Notes

Use a sharp knife for clean slices. Wet your hands when handling rice to prevent sticking. Experiment with fillings like cucumbers or cooked shrimp for variety.
