Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until clear, then combine with 1.25 cups of water in a pot. Boil, then simmer for 20 minutes until tender.
  2. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt until dissolved. Fold into cooked rice and cool.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Wet hands and shape cooled sushi rice into golf ball-sized portions and place on the baking sheet.
  5. Add a slice of cooked salmon and a slice of avocado on each rice portion. Optionally include sesame seeds or scallions.
  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy on the edges.
  7. Cool slightly after baking. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with soy sauce or pickled ginger.

Customize toppings as desired for unique flavor profiles. Remember to monitor the baking closely to avoid overcooking the salmon.
