    adding vinegar to saucepan
  • As soon as the vinegar mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour into a separate bowl to cool.
    simmering pickling juice
  • Once cool, add the cucumber and red onion. Marinate for 30 minutes. The cucumber and onions will be slightly softened.

  • Press a few pieces of the smoked salmon together to form a long strip about 7-inches-long and 3-inches-wide. Gently spread the cream cheese over top of the salmon.
    spreading salmon pieces
  • At the bottom of the salmon strip, place 1 slice of avocado and about 2 tablespoons of the cucumber-onion mixture. Carefully roll the salmon strip forward, enclosing the fillings. Place on a plate and repeat with the remaining salmon. Place the salmon rolls in the refrigerator for 4 hours to set.

Notes

Tips and Substitutions

  • Be sure the salmon is cold before pressing it into a strip. 
  • If needed, before rolling, place the cream cheese coated salmon in the fridge to chill.If it is too warm, it will be difficult to neatly roll it up with the filling.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is spreadable before putting on the salmon.
  • Use the parchment paper to help roll the salmon sushi roll tight.
  • Substitute the cucumber relish for capers and shaved asparagus.
  • Sprinkle black and white sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning over top.
