2 cups sushi rice Essential for that sticky texture that holds everything together.
2.5 cups water Needed to cook the sushi rice to perfection.
0.25 cup rice vinegar Gives the rice its signature tangy flavor.
2 tablespoons sugar Adds a touch of sweetness to balance the savory elements.
1 teaspoon salt Enhances the overall flavor of the sushi rice.

1 fillet cooked salmon Provides that rich, savory taste.
1 whole avocado Adds creaminess and healthy fats.
to taste optional toppings or fillings Could include cooked shrimp, crab, or cooked chicken.

Rinse 2 cups of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then combine with 2.5 cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together 0.25 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt until dissolved. Fold this mixture into the cooked sushi rice and allow it to cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wet your hands and press the seasoned sushi rice into small bite-sized portions on the baking sheet.
Add a slice of cooked salmon fillet and a slice of avocado on top of each rice portion. Optionally, add shrimp, crab, or chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy.
Let cool for a couple of minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

For best results, serve fresh and feel free to mix toppings based on your taste preferences.
