"Sushi with fresh salmon, ripe avocado, and Japanese cucumber adapts the precision of Japanese art to the Brazilian palate in rolls wrapped in crispy nori. It is worth rolling at home for the velvety texture of the fresh fish harmonized with the freshness of the vegetables in a light meal."

Chef Tips
- Dampen your hands in a bowl with water and a touch of rice vinegar to spread the grains without sticking to your fingers.
- Cut the roll with a very sharp chef's knife, cleaning the blade with a damp cloth after each slice for a clean cut.
- Choose fresh salmon from a reliable fishmonger that has undergone prior freezing for safe raw consumption.
Variations
- Uramaki Sushi with salmon: spread the rice over the seaweed, flip the sheet over, and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on the outside. - Touch of cream cheese (Hot roll/Philadelphia): add a strip of cream cheese along with the salmon and avocado in the filling. - Torched salmon: pass the culinary torch over the surface of the sliced sushi with drops of truffle oil.
Substitutions
- Salmão fresco cru: substitua por atum fresco em tiras, salmão maçaricado ou tiras de pepino e cenoura para versão vegetariana. - Abacate maduro: utilize fatias de manga madura do tipo palmer ou cream cheese em barra para estilo brasileiro contemporâneo. - Pepino japonês: pode ser substituído por cenoura cortada em tiras finas ou broto de feijão branqueado.
How to Store
Preferably consume immediately. If there are leftovers, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a maximum of 24 hours, although the rice tends to harden and lose freshness under refrigeration.
Can You Freeze It?
It is not recommended to freeze ready-assembled sushi. The rice loses its texture and hardens irreversibly at freezer temperatures, and the salmon with cucumber releases water when thawing.
What to Serve With
Serve with quality soy sauce in individual small bowls, fresh wasabi paste, thin slices of pickled ginger (gari), and a cup of roasted green tea. Iced lychee tea is also an excellent option.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to ensure safety when consuming raw salmon at home?
Buy fish of certified origin and ensure it has been previously frozen at -20 ºC for at least 24 hours to eliminate parasites.
Why does sushi rice need to rest and cool before rolling?
If you put hot rice on the nori sheet, the steam softens the seaweed instantly, making it rubbery and difficult to cut.
What is the correct side of the nori seaweed sheet?
Place the rough side facing up to fix the rice and the shiny side facing down against the bamboo mat.
Can I substitute avocado for mango?
Yes, ripe mango is very popular in Japanese cuisine in Brazil and pairs perfectly with the natural fat of the salmon.
