Instructions

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha to create spicy mayo; adjust spice level to taste.
Toss chopped salmon with a few tablespoons of spicy mayo until well coated.
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or clean surface. Spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top edge.
Arrange cucumber, avocado slices, green onions, and spicy salmon mixture in a line along the edge closest to you.
Using the mat or your hands, carefully roll the nori over the fillings, pressing gently to form a tight roll.
Moisten the edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces with a sharp, wet knife.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top if desired.
Serve with soy sauce and extra spicy mayo on the side.

Notes

Substitute salmon with tuna or cooked shrimp.
Add cream cheese for a richer texture.
Use spicy mayo with wasabi for a different kick.
Include pickled ginger inside the roll for added tang.
Try using brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier option.
Best eaten fresh; store wrapped in plastic wrap in refrigerator up to 24 hours.
Avoid reheating to preserve texture and flavor.
