Sesame salmon roll sushi usually contains sushi rice, salmon, nori, and sesame seeds. Cucumber, avocado, or cream cheese may be added, so check the restaurant’s description if you want to know exactly what is in its version.
The salmon in sesame salmon roll sushi is often raw, but some versions use cooked or smoked salmon. Ask how the fish is prepared when ordering, especially if you want to avoid raw seafood.
You can make sesame salmon roll sushi by spreading seasoned sushi rice over nori, adding salmon and your chosen fillings, then rolling it tightly with a bamboo mat. Slice the roll and coat its outside with sesame seeds.
Soy sauce is the usual dip for sesame salmon roll sushi, often served with wasabi and pickled ginger. Use a light dip rather than soaking the roll, which can make the rice fall apart.
Sesame salmon roll sushi is best eaten fresh, especially when it contains raw salmon. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container and eat them as soon as possible; discard sushi that has been left out or smells off.

Sesame Salmon Roll Sushi is a Japanese-style sushi roll made with seasoned rice and salmon, typically wrapped in nori and finished with sesame seeds. Fillings and preparation vary between restaurants, and sesame may be toasted for extra aroma.
The rice is soft with a gentle tang, the salmon savoury and tender, and the sesame adds a nutty flavour and slight crunch. It is commonly served with soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi; sushi rolls are enjoyed in restaurants and as a convenient meal in many parts of the world. The rice supplies most of its carbohydrates, while salmon contributes protein and fat. At 185 kcal per 100 g, it can work as a light meal with a side of vegetables.
