Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 200 grams fresh salmon, thinly sliced
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 nori sheets
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice several times until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions using a rice cooker or saucepan.
- While the rice is still warm, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt into the rice gently until evenly seasoned.
- Lightly oil a small round bowl or mold and line it with plastic wrap so the cake releases easily.
- Spread a layer of sushi rice in the mold and press it gently.
- Add cucumber slices, avocado slices, and thin salmon slices over the rice.
- Place one sheet of nori on top and repeat with another layer of rice and fillings.
- Press the layers gently so the structure holds together and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
- Invert the mold onto a serving plate and carefully remove the plastic wrap.
- Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top and garnish with extra salmon slices if desired.
- Slice like a cake and serve with soy sauce on the side.
Notes
- Use sushi grade salmon for the best flavor and safety.
- Wet the knife slightly before slicing to keep the layers clean.
- If the cake feels soft, chill it for 10 minutes before slicing.
- You can substitute cooked shrimp or crab if you prefer cooked seafood.
