Keep all ingredients ready. The cooked prepared sushi rice for one. Slice the avocado into 8 pieces and the salmon into 3 slices, cut one of the 3 slices into two.
Prepare spicy mayo by combining mayo with sriracha. Best is to pour it into a squeeze bottle, so to pour it easily in one line later over the sushi rice.
Place your nori seaweed on your Sushi mat. Use a sushi mat wrapped in plastic so that the sushi won't stick.
Spread almost half of your cooked (keep about 2-3 Tablespoons aside) rice all over your nori seaweed. The rice has to cover the seaweed completely and it needs to be an even layer.
Turn the rice covered seaweed and spread the 2-3 Tablespoons of rice over one half of your seaweed, but keep about 1 inch or 2-centimeter distance from the bottom end of your seaweed. Spread it out to an even layer.
Pour spicy mayonnaise in one line in the center of the rice.
Place 1½ slices of salmon over the mayo line.
Arrange 4 (2 large and 2 small) avocado slices over the salmon.
Take the seaweed with the toppings to the border of your plastic-wrapped mat, hold with both hands and start to roll in your sushi.
Continue to roll in your sushi and press down with both hands to create a tight wrap. Roll until you have a tight sushi roll
Place sushi roll on one side of your mat and sprinkle sesame seeds all over the rest of the mat.
Roll so that the inside-out sushi is picking up the sesame seeds and the roll is completely covered with sesame seeds.
Take the sushi from the bamboo mat and cut it into 1 inch or 2 centimeter thick slices or so that you are left with 8 thick slices.
Arrange the salmon roll on a serving plate and serve with soya wasabi dipping options and some pickled sliced ginger.

Notes
Use cooked sushi rice only and please follow my recipe to make sushi rice.
Use fresh raw sashimi-grade salmon filet. If you don't want raw fish, use a smoked cured salmon instead.
Nori is seaweed. Use unflavored plain maki sushi nori seaweed sheets to make this recipe.
Japanese sushi is made with Japanese mayonnaise. It tastes a bit different from American mayonnaise but you can use that too as a substitution. See my Japanese mayo recipe on how to turn American mayo into a Japanese flavored mayo.
This is a spicy sushi roll so we add sriracha hot sauce, but you can add any other hot sauce too such as tabasco.
Instead of mayo and sriracha, you can use my homemade spicy mayo sauce too.
Top with black or white sesame seeds or both together.
It's important to roll in the sushi slowly and as tight as possible. Take your time and press carefully down with both hands while rolling in.
