Salmon Cream Cheese Sushi Roll

  • 4-6 nori sheets

    2 cups sushi rice

    2 tablespoons rice vinegar

    2 tablespoons sugar

    1 teaspoon salt

    1 lb. fresh salmon, thinly sliced

    4 oz. cream cheese, softened

    4 green onions, thinly sliced

    Soy sauce and wasabi, for serving

  • Prepare the sushi rice by rinsing it in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions.

    In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat, stirring until the sugar and salt have dissolved.

    Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and stir until well combined.

    Place a sheet of nori on a sushi rolling mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

    Place a line of cream cheese in the center of the rice, followed by a line of thinly sliced salmon.

    Roll the sushi tightly, using the mat to shape it into a tight cylinder. Wet the top border of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.

    Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients to create more sushi rolls.

    Slice each roll into 8 pieces using a sharp knife.

    To serve, top each sushi roll with a thin slice of salmon and a sprinkle of green onion. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.

    Enjoy your homemade sushi roll!
