- Cook the sushi rice

While the rice is cooling, make your fillings. Cut slices of fresh salmon into thin strips. Cook the crispy bacon and cut it into small pieces. Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips as well.
- Roll the sushi
Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice by leaving a small border at the top sushi mat. Maple syrup….. Don’t miss to drizzle on the rice for a touch of Canadian flavor.
Next, add the salmon, bacon, avocado, and cucumber on top of the rice. Then add some cream cheese for extra creaminess. Carefully roll the sushi by using the bamboo mat.
- Slice and Serve
Cut the roll using a sharp knife into bite-sized pieces. What about an extra taste? Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
