Preparation

  2. Cut salmon into strips or flake when cooked, and slice avocado for fillings.
  3. On a bamboo mat, lay a nori sheet shiny side down. Spread rice leaving an inch free at the top. Add salmon and avocado, roll tightly and seal edge with water.
  4. Set up breading station with flour, whisked eggs, and panko breadcrumbs in shallow dishes.
  5. Dust rolls with flour, dip in eggs, then roll in panko breadcrumbs ensuring even coverage.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350-375°F. Use a thermometer or check breadcrumbs for readiness.
  7. Fry rolls in small batches for 2-4 minutes until golden brown, turning occasionally.
  8. Transfer fried rolls to a wire rack to drain excess oil.

Notes

Use high-quality salmon from a trusted source for best flavor and safety. Store leftovers for up to 1-2 days in the fridge, or freeze for up to 2 months with a loss of crispiness. Reheat in the oven at 350°F to restore crunch.
