  4. Spread the sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top edge.
  5. Arrange the fillings (spicy salmon salad, cucumber, avocado) in the center of the rice.
  6. Roll tightly like a burrito, using the sushi rolling mat if desired to ensure a tight roll.
  7. Slice the sushi burrito in half with a sharp knife and serve immediately.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, replace the salmon with tofu or additional vegetables. Add spicy mayo or teriyaki sauce for extra flavor.
