Apex Roll
This roll was originally called something else, but since I wanted to keep SushiDay family friendly, I changed the name to something different, but technically meaning the same thing. Im sure you can guess what the original name was… but I’m not telling you if you can’t. 😛 Keeping things PG-rated here 😀
Anyways, this is a really good roll… the saltiness of the smoked salmon really balances out with the coolness of the cucumber and creaminess of the mayo/imitation crab mix. Delicious!
Makes 6 rolls, or 24 pieces.
Ingredients
- 6 sheets of nori
- 3 cups sumeshi
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 cup imitation crab
- 1 small cucumber
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (to taste)
- smoked salmon
Cooking Directions
- Cook sushi rice.
- Mix imitation crab and mayonnaise, separating crab pieces and mashing into smaller pieces.
- Cut the avocado in half, discarding the pit.
- Cut off the hard skin and discard.
- Slice the avocado into thin sticks.
- Slice the cucumber into long, thin sticks.
- Using avocado sticks, cucumber, and the imitation crab mix as your fillings, roll the sushi inside-out.
- Place thin strips of smoked salmon across the top of the roll, and squeeze them into the roll with the rolling mat so they stick.
- Serve with wasabi, shoyu, and ginger (if desired). Enjoy!

Hi yummyyy.. please enter my tummy… I’m ready to lick my screen but I don’t think it’ll taste as good =( God, I love avocado.
Good combination!
Sprinkle the smoked salmon with a little lemom juice!

It’s the one fish I’m not crazy about, but you even make salmon look good…amazing. 😉
Yvo – Hehe I don’t think your screen will taste very good! I promise someday I’ll find a way to get out to NY and make you some sushi! 😀
Robert-Gilles – Oooh that sounds good!
Amy – 😀 I’m glad we can make even *unappealing* foods look good to you! 😉
You’re so good at this! You owned a restaurant?
Nope never owned a restaurant… I just like making sushi!
phu phu phu phu! I think I can guess the original name for the apex roll 😉 gotta love your guys’ sense of humor. ~_~ SUSHIIIIII looks soo good…*sighs* its my favorite food, I could eat it everyday. I would have to say the love of rice Has to be genetic XD
P.S.- Allison you’re so pretty! Son, you remind me of my older brother, I think thats a good thing you guys are around the same age.
😀 Hehe I’m glad you love sushi… and yeah I agree about the love of rice!
I’m flattered! Hehe you should have seen me when I read your comment… I was blushing so hard! 😀
I’m SO glad I found this page. I am just starting out and this page is wonderful with all of its tips and recipes. The reason I comment on this recipe in particular is that the nutritional facts strike me as odd. I watch what I eat and I looked at the ingredients and it just doesn’t seem right that a roll would have 64 grams of fat and 52 grams of fiber. Other than that, everything looks spectacular! I can’t wait to try it! 🙂
Aaaah!!!! Oops. Thanks so much for pointing that out… I have fixed it now. Hehe the reason it was like that is because I use Excel to calculate my nutrition facts, and I had made a mistake in one of my formulas, so it added it up weird. Plus I was kinda in a hurry when I was posting the nutrition facts since I was trying to get them all up… so I didn’t check them to see if they were realistic. Oops! My bad. 😛 I’m glad you like the site otherwise! 😀
Hey there! I have to say I rather enjoy Your blog, it makes for an interesting Read! I hope to see more blog posts from you soon! Thanks!
