Instructions:
‍
1. Prepare Cucumbers:
- Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife.
2. Create Cucumber Strips:
- Lay one cucumber slice flat on a clean surface and slightly overlap another slice onto it, creating a longer cucumber strip. Repeat until you have a wide and long strip.
3. Spread Sushi Rice:
- Take a small amount of sushi rice and spread it evenly across the cucumber strip, leaving a small border at the top and bottom edges.
4. Arrange Salmon:
- Arrange slices of fresh salmon in a single layer across the center of the rice-covered cucumber strip.
5. Roll the Sushi:
- Starting from one end, carefully roll the cucumber and salmon filling tightly, similar to a sushi roll. Apply gentle pressure as you roll to ensure the ingredients are held together.
6. Repeat and Slice:
- Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber slices and fillings to make additional rolls. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Arrange the Cucumber Salmon Sushi Rolls on a serving platter. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side, if desired.
