Salmon Avocado Roll
The salmon avocado roll is a staple in many sushi restaurants. With its creamy texture and robust flavor it has become a favorite of many sushi lovers. Though many variations exist, we will walk you through the most basic version. This roll can always be made as an uramaki roll and be topped with, or filled with many other ingredients.
Start with either a half-sheet or three-quarter sheet of nori.
Add a thin layer of rice. Because this is a standard maki roll you will want to leave a strip of nori without rice in order to seal the roll.
add ripe avocado. Being that a creamy texture is a hallmark of this roll, you do not want a firm piece of avocado.
Add a generous amount of avocado. Don’t skimp on the amount you add. There should be as much if not more than the salmon added.
Add your salmon. It can be ground, chopped, or whole pieces. you may also substitute with smoked salmon.
Start and tighten the roll.
Shape it the way you want your roll to look.
Now you have a complete roll.
Always wet your blade before cutting.
Cut the roll slowly, let the blade do the work.
Remember to wash the starches off the blade after cutting.
Cut into eight pieces.
Add masago on top for flavor, color, and texture. Masago isn’t necessary but definitely gives a professional finish.
