Prepare sushi rice according to package instructions and let cool.

Slice fresh salmon into thin strips.

Cut avocado and cucumber into thin slices.

Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo mat, shiny side down.

Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.

Place salmon, avocado, and cucumber in a line across the rice.

Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped scallions on top of the fillings.

Using the bamboo mat, roll the nori away from you, tucking the filling tightly.

Continue rolling until the nori is sealed, using a little water to help it stick.

Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife.

Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
