The Alaskan Thunder Roll

This Roll was is more on the healthy side.  The name of this roll came from its original ingredients to the Alaskan Roll, Salmon, Cucumber, and Avocado.  The added Jalapeno, Yellowtail, and Green Onion would the the Thunder.  So here is the Alaskan Thunder Roll.  It is meant to be eaten with ponzu sauce, or adding lemon juice and lemon zest to your soy sauce can be an alternative.

Things you’ll Need:

  • Bamboo mat
  • Sushi Rice
  • 1/2 sheet nori
  • sesame seeds(optional)
  • 2 thin slices of a Salmon fillet
  • 2 thin slices of a yellowtail fillet
  • Couple pieces of thinly cut cucumber
  • 2 slices of avocado
  • few thin slices of jalapeno
  • 1 green onion

Alright lets try to make it.

First, spread your sushi rice onto your nori and sprinkle sesame seeds on the rice if you have it on hand.

Next, place the salmon, avocado, and cucumber on the seaweed side of the patty and roll it together.

Apply thinly sliced jalapeno across the top of the roll.

Cover the roll and jalapenos by placing 2 slices of yellowtail on top

Apply plastic wrap over the roll, cover it with the bamboo mat and apply pressure on the sides to mesh both together. (This makes it easier to cut the roll with ingredients on top.)

Cut the roll into 8 pieces and remove the plastic wrap.

Place the bamboo mat over one more time and apply pressure to the sides to reform a uniform shape.

Place small strips of green onion on top of each piece.

Place it onto a plate with ginger and wasabi and serve.

Enjoy!
