About the Recipe
These Salmon Sushi Sandwiches bring together nutrient-dense ingredients for a meal that’s both protein-rich and full of flavor. Smoky salmon, a fantastic source of omega-3 fatty acids, supports heart and brain health, while also offering high-quality protein for muscle repair and immune function. Sushi rice provides a balanced source of energy from carbohydrates to keep you fueled, and nori adds essential minerals like iodine, supporting thyroid health. With creamy avocado for healthy fats and fiber, this dish is both delicious and nutritionally balanced. (For additional nutritional information see Ingredients Index).
Ingredients
4 sheets nori (seaweed)
1 ½ tbsp rice vinegar
80g smoked salmon slices (for wrapping)
125g smoked salmon steak (I like lemon + pepper flavor)
1 cup sushi rice, cooked and cooled
1 avocado, sliced thinly
GF Soy sauce and wasabi (optional, for serving)
Preparation
Step 1
Cook sushi rice according to package instructions. Allow it to cool (roughly 30 minutes), then gently season with a bit of rice vinegar if desired.
Step 2
Place a sheet of nori on a clean, flat surface. Add a thin layer of rice in the centre of the nori, pressing gently to create a square shape, leaving space around the edges for folding. Layer a few strips of fresh salmon and slices of avocado on top of the rice.
Step 3
Fold each corner of the nori toward the centre to create a compact square, fully enclosing the filling. Wrap the entire nori-covered square with a thin layer of smoked salmon, pressing gently so it sticks and holds its shape.
Step 4
Carefully slice each sandwich in half. Serve immediately with soy sauce and wasabi on the side if desired.
