Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Cook the rice according to your rice cooker or pot instructions. Let the rice cool slightly, then mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to season.

Shred the imitation crab meat into fine pieces, slice the avocado thinly, cut the cucumber into long, thin strips, and thinly slice the sushi-grade salmon.

Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on your sushi mat. With wet hands, grab a handful of seasoned sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge. Press the rice gently to stick without squishing.
Place shredded imitation crab, avocado slices, cucumber strips, and salmon in the center of the rice-covered nori. Adjust amounts if desired.
Using the sushi mat, carefully lift the edge closest to you and roll it away, pressing gently but firmly to keep it tight. Continue rolling until the edge of the nori without rice is reached. Use water to seal the edge.
With a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices. Arrange and serve.

Use brown rice instead of white rice for more fiber and nutrients.
Try adding extra vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for added crunch and flavor.
Substitute imitation crab with real crab or tofu for a vegetarian-friendly roll.
Experiment with different fish such as tuna or shrimp to vary the flavors.
Enjoy sushi fresh and avoid freezing to maintain rice texture and ingredient freshness.
