A combo of my 2 favorite things!
This sandwich is the perfect quick fix for any sushi craving. It also holds great for tomorrow's lunch! Read below for the recipe and nutrition information!
Recipe Information:
Makes 2 servings
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 tsp cane sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 sheets sushi nori
A sprinkle of furikake
A drizzle of sriracha mayo
4 oz smoked salmon
1-2 ounces alfalfa sprouts or microgreens
1/2 cucumber, sliced into coins
1 avocado, sliced
Recipe:
For the sushi rice: cook white rice according to package (will take approx. 45 minutes). When rice is almost done, heat rice vinegar, sugar, and salt on low heat until fully dissolved and combined. Once rice is cooked, pour vinegar mixture over grains and mix until fully combined. Transfer the rice mixture to a bowl, place a wet towel over the bowl (make sure its touching the rice grains!), and place in the fridge until it has cooled down to preferences.
Place sheet of nori on a flat surface, rough side facing up (shiny side against the table). Fold the nori into four squares (down the middle each way), lay it back flat so you can see the outlines of the four squares, and cut a slit down one line, going halfway across the nori sheet. (**View the video below to see how to do this!)
Once your nori sheet is prepared, fill it up with your toppings! Place ~1/2 cup of rice on one square, topping it with a sprinkle of furikake and sriracha mayo. Place 2 oz smoked salmon on another square. Place a few handfuls of sprouts and cucumber slices on the next square. Place 1/2 sliced avocado on the final square.
Starting with the slit square, fold each square over one another to create your sandwich. Wrap in cling-wrap or aluminum foil to seal the sandwich together (I recommend cling-wrap, but I used foil in lieu of it!). Cut in half, through the wrap. (**View the video below to see how to do this!). Repeat steps 2-4 for the second sandwich.
Dip in soy sauce and enjoy!

Nutrition:
Salmon: salmon is full of healthy fats, selenium, B vitamins, niacin, pantothenic acid, thiamin, and phosphorus. These all contribute to a healthy body! The essential omega-3 fatty acids in salmon are super anti-inflammatory and extremely heart healthy, as well. Salmon is an awesome high-quality protein source!
Cucumber: cucumbers are packed with vitamin K, which is essential for blood clotting and bone health! They're also a great source of fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B, copper, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and water for hydration!
Avocado: HEART HEALTHY FATS!! Avocado contains lots of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (MUFAs and PUFAs), which reduce cholesterol and triglycerides.
Sprouts/microgreens: sprouts and microgreens are great sources of amino acids, carotenoids, and chlorophylls! They're great for strong and healthy bodies.
