You can use this smoked salmon recipe to prepare some delicious sushi rolls.
Ingredients
Japanese sushi rice (2 cups)
Avocado – peeled and sliced (1)
Cucumber - peeled and sliced (1)
Rice wine vinegar (6 tablespoons)
Nori -dry seaweed (6 sheets)

Meanwhile, take a bamboo mat and place a sheet of seaweed on this. You now need to press a thin layer of rice onto this seaweed sheet. But ensure you leave at least ½ inch of the top and bottom edge in an uncovered state. Add some of the wasabi paste onto the rice carefully. Then, place avocado, cucumber and smoked salmon on the rice but while doing so, ensure you place them at the bottom edge of the seaweed.

Meanwhile, moisten the top edge of the seaweed. Then, roll the top edge and use the bamboo mat to make it into a tight roll. Now, cut the roll into 8 pieces. The same procedure can be repeated with all the other rolls and these rolls would now be ready to be devoured!
