Place a sheet of nori with the rough side up on a bamboo rolling mat and spread a layer of rice on the sheet. Avoid spreading the rice all the way to the top edge, around 1 inch. But make sure that the nori sheet is over the bottom edge - around 1 inch long.

Then flip the nori sheet up.

Lay avocado and a piece of fresh salmon at the bottom edge of the sheet.

Use the mat to roll the maki almost all the way.

Cut each roll in two, then in two and two until you have 8 pieces.

Sprinkle with fish egg or Tobiko to finish.
