Salmon Maki
Salmon Maki is a sushi roll featuring smoked salmon wrapped in nori seaweed with cooked sushi rice. The roll is tightly formed using a bamboo mat, then sliced into pieces for easy serving. The combination of slightly sticky sushi rice with smoky salmon gives a mild, delicate flavor. Wetting the knife between cuts ensures clean slices without sticking, and the nori provides a slightly crisp texture to complement the softness of the rice and salmon.

Ingredients
- 200 g sushi rice cooked
- 2 heet nori
- 100 g smoked salmon cut into strips
Instructions
- Cook your sushi rice according to our Sushi Rice recipe.
- Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo rolling mat, shiny side down. Put the cooked sushi rice onto the nori and spread to cover ¾ of the nori.
- Lay the strips of smoked salmon halfway along the rice.
- Using a bamboo rolling mat, roll up from the bottom, tightly away from you. Leave a small amount of nori unrolled. Wet this part of the nori with water and finish rolling to seal it.
- Dip a sharp knife into some water and then slice the roll. Dip the knife into water each time you make a cut. Slice the roll into 10 pieces.

Notes
- Use wet hands or a spoon when handling sushi rice to avoid sticking.
- Wet the knife between each slice to achieve clean cuts without tearing the roll.
- Position the nori shiny side down so the rice sticks well and the roll looks appealing.
- If water does not seal the nori, use cooked rice grains as edible glue for sealing.
- Ensure sushi rice is fully cooled before rolling to prevent soggy nori.
- Place the bamboo rolling mat inside a zip lock bag to simplify cleaning after use.
- To measure raw rice for cooking, divide the required cooked rice amount by three (e.g., 700g raw rice for 200g cooked sushi rice).
