Easy Fresh Tuna and Salmon Sushi Rolls Recipe

These sushi rolls are filled with fresh slices of tuna and salmon, rolled in seasoned sushi rice and nori. The recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sushi rice, rinsed
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
  • 4 ounces fresh tuna, sliced into strips
  • 4 ounces fresh salmon, sliced into strips
  • 1 cucumber, julienned
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Soy sauce for serving
  • Wasabi and pickled ginger for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sushi Rice: In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Cook according to the rice cooker’s instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.
  2. Season the Rice: In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice, being careful not to mash the grains. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
  4. Add Fillings: Arrange slices of tuna, salmon, cucumber, and avocado in a line across the center of the rice-covered nori.
  5. Roll the Sushi: Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.
  6. Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
