Smoked Salmon Sushi Roll

“Why go out and buy expensive sushi when you can make it right at home? This simple dish is made from steamed rice, with avocado, cucumber and smoked salmon all wrapped up in dried seaweed. It might take awhile to learn how to make a perfect roll, but you'll have fun trying! Add wasabi (Japanese horseradish) for a good kick!”

6 tablespoons of rice vinegar are way too much, 2 are enough. I omited wasabi. Also this recipe definetely needs cream cheese and sesame seeds.

My Korean friend taught me that you can keep cooked sushi rice in the fridge for up to 5 days for easy to grab and roll nights. She keeps it in a large ziplock with the air squeezed out and then just warms it slightly in the microwave and sprinkles and mixes in a little bit of sesame oil. Roll away!!

This recipe is the BEST!!! It came out perfect!!! Except instead of rice I used risotto. Also instead of vinegar I used tomato paste with a little bit of basil. I forwent the smoked salmon and substituted it with italian sausage and in place of nori I used a bowl. I will be using this recipe again and again! Five stars across the board!

I'm just learning to make sushi and this recipe seemed easy enough. And it was easy! Thank you! I made the recipe as it calls for and the taste was very good. My husband is filipino and has eaten a lot of sushi. He said mine was very good for the first time :) If you are starting to make sushi, definitely try this recipe.

I found the smoked salmon flavor to be overpowering, it may have been the brand I used. But it ended up ruining the whole roll for me personally.

I love sushi! I also add a couple teaspoons of plain white sugar to the rice vinegar before stirring it in to the rice with a wooden spoon. I don't have a rice cooker, so I just cook in a pot -- 2 c sushi rice to 1.5 c water. My favorite sushi to make at home is smoked salmon, avocado, and cucumber. If you buy cukes with thin skin, it looks and tastes better to wash the outside and leave the skin on when you slice into long strips. Dip your sushi in soy sauce and wasabi with pickled ginger. Delicious!

I've made a similar recipe for years. Here's my crazy twist - add a thin slice of cream cheese inside. I know it's not even remotely traditional, but it sure is yummy! For dipping sauce I prefer Bragg's Aminos... it's like soy sauce only I like the taste better. Plus, I find wasabi to be foul, so I skip it. I also use short grain brown rice instead of white, and I agree with the others that adding some sugar to the vinegar really helps make the rice sticker which is what you want.

It was my first time making sushi and it was actually a lot of fun. Thanks to others suggestions here I had a small bowl of water. I had to keep dipping my fingers in because the rice was so sticky. Instead of cucumbers I used cream cheese. We made miso soup from scratch to go with it. Overall it was good, just not great (in my opinion). Thank you for the recipe though, this can be used as a base roll recipe with other ingredients, and the directions were good.
