Directions

1 In 2-quart saucepan, heat 1 1/4 cups water and the rice to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until tender. Transfer to large bowl, tossing rice with chopsticks or 2 forks to cool slightly. Gradually add 1/4 cup vinegar to rice, tossing constantly. Cover bowl with damp towel; cool rice to room temperature.
2 In small bowl, mix dressing ingredients with wire whisk.
3 Dip hands into cold water; divide rice into 4 equal portions. Form each into oval-shaped patty about 3/4 inch thick. Roll edges in sesame seed. Place each patty on serving plate. Sprinkle top of each rice patty with 1 to 2 teaspoons dressing. Arrange 4 avocado slices over each. Top each with 1/4 of the sliced salmon and 1 teaspoon ginger slices. Serve immediately.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Look for sushi rice, wasabi paste and pickled ginger in the Asian section of the supermarket. This short-grained rice may be called pearl, glutinous or Japanese rice.

Give your salad an exotic look by substituting black sesame seed for the toasted sesame seed.

My Mom served this as the 'starter' to an asian meal- it is fresh and tastes amazing! I will definitely be making this recipe and can't wait to eat it again- it really is one of the best foods I've eaten this summer (and I keep thinking about it!) :)
