If you’ve never made sushi before, don’t worry. It’s actually quite easy. And if you’re not a fan of salmon, you can use any type of fish you like. I also like to add a little bit of wasabi to my sushi rolls, but you can leave it out if you’re not a fan.

Why Salmon Cucumber Sushi Rolls are Perfect

If you love sushi, then you’ve probably had your fair share of salmon cucumber rolls. They’re light, refreshing, and full of flavor – everything you could want in a sushi roll!

But why do we love them so much? Let’s take a closer look at what makes salmon cucumber rolls so special.

For one, they’re a great source of protein. Salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for your heart health. And cucumbers are a low-calorie vegetable that’s full of vitamins and minerals.

But the real reason we love salmon cucumber rolls is because they’re just so darn delicious! The light, flaky salmon pairs perfectly with the crisp, refreshing cucumber. And when it’s all wrapped up in sticky rice and seaweed, it’s a heavenly combination.

So next time you’re in the mood for sushi, be sure to order a salmon cucumber roll. You’ll be glad you did!

Cucumber Salmon Sushi Rolls: A healthier, tastier way to enjoy sushi!

If you love sushi, but are looking for a new twist on the classic salmon cucumber roll, then this variation is for you! Instead of using rice, we’ve swapped it out for quinoa, which is not only a delicious alternative, but is also packed with protein.

How to make Salmon Cucumber Rolls Sushi

1. Make the rice first. In a colander, rinse the sushi rice, massaging it with your hands until the water runs clear. Allow to drain for 15 minutes.
2. Place the rice in a saucepan with 200ml of water and, if using, the sake or mirin. Bring to a boil, then cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Take the pan off the heat. Set aside for 15-20 minutes, covered.
3. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. If using, dissolve the sugar in the vinegar with a good pinch of salt, then pour over the rice and mix. Set aside at room temperature, covered with a damp tea towel until ready to use.
4. Place one nori sheet on a bamboo mat and cover with half of the cooled rice. Place half of the salmon and cucumber slices in a strip down the length of the rice, being careful not to overfill it. With your finger, run a pea-sized blob of wasabi (more if you like it really hot) along the edge of the filling.
5. When you reach the end, roll up tightly and squeeze to seal. Rep with the rest of the nori, salmon, cucumber, and wasabi. Cut each roll into 6 pieces and serve with additional wasabi, ginger, soy sauce, and salmon roe, if desired. Will keep in the refrigerator for one day.
