This simple and nutritious sushi roll pairs rich salmon with creamy avocado for a satisfying, omega-3-packed meal. It’s one of the healthiest choices at the sushi bar—great for clean eating, low-carb meals, or post-workout refueling.

 

 

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 sheet nori (seaweed)

  • ½ cup sushi rice (prepared with rice vinegar)

  • 2–3 slices sushi-grade raw salmon or smoked salmon

  • ¼ avocado, thinly sliced

  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

  • Soy sauce or tamari for dipping

  • Pickled ginger and wasabi for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Lay the nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo mat.

  2. Spread an even layer of rice over the nori, leaving 1 inch at the top edge clear.

  3. Arrange salmon and avocado slices horizontally near the bottom.

  4. Carefully roll using the mat, pressing tightly as you go.

  5. Slice into 6–8 pieces using a wet sharp knife.

  6. Serve with soy sauce, ginger, and wasabi as desired.

 

Notes

  • Use brown rice for extra fiber.

  • For a lower-carb option, make it without rice (just wrap in nori).

  • Can be made with cooked or smoked salmon if you prefer.

  • For extra crunch, add cucumber or radish strips.
