Preparing the Sushi Rice

Start by cooking the sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, season with a mix of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to taste. Let it cool to room temperature before using.

Assembling the Roll

Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch of space at the top. Arrange slices of raw fish, avocado, cucumber, and dollops of cream cheese or mayonnaise along the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori.

Rolling and Baking

Carefully roll the sushi using the mat, pressing firmly to ensure the roll is tight. Once rolled, sprinkle the outside with either furikake or toasted sesame seeds. Place the roll on a baking sheet and gently bake in a preheated oven (at 350°F) for about 10 minutes, or until slightly warm and lightly toasted.

Slicing and Serving

After baking, let the sushi roll cool for a few minutes. Using a sharp, wet knife, cut the roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve with pickled ginger, wasabi, and a slice of lemon on the side.
