Ever feel like making sushi rolls at home but don’t know how to roll them? Here’s an easy solution that’s just as delicious! This smoked salmon avocado sushi rice bowl is healthy, no fuss and only takes 10 mins of prep time.
When I eat out, sushi restaurants are always on the top of my list of good eats. Sushi is delicious and I would say pretty healthy compared to a lot of other restaurant options. But it can get expensive, especially with a whole family and sometimes I just want a budget option that I can make at home to enjoy more often.
So I came up with this easy and healthy smoked salmon avocado rice bowl. I can’t find sushi grade fish at my regular grocery store, so once I tried making this with smoked salmon and I was surprised by how good it was! The texture of smoked salmon is quite close to thinly sliced salmon sushi and you get the extra salt and smoky flavour. Plus it has a long shelf life so you can keep it in the fridge for the days you need a no fuss quick meal.
Smoked salmon is incredible nutritious

Avocados are a powerhouse of nutrients
