Instructions:

1. Cook sushi rice according to package directions.

2. In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat until sugar and salt dissolve. Pour over cooked rice and toss to combine.

3. Place a nori sheet on a sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

4. Arrange fillings (fish, cucumber, avocado) in a line across the center of the rice.

5. Roll the sushi tightly using the mat. Moisten the top border of the nori with water to seal.

6. Slice the roll into 8 pieces.

7. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
