Rinse sushi rice with cold water until water becomes clear, then drain rice.
Cut the sushi roll into bite-size pieces using a sharp knife.
Serve sushi with wasabi, pickled ginger, and soy sauce on the side.
Add water to rice in a pan, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10-12 minutes.
Turn off heat and let rice sit for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl until sugar dissolves.
Once rice has rested, transfer rice to a bowl and add the vinegar mixture. Mix gently until rice is evenly coated.
Cut sashimi-grade tuna and salmon into thin slices.
Cut avocado and cucumber into thin slices.
Lay a sheet of nori shiny side down on a sushi mat. Spread a thin, even layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Arrange slices of tuna, salmon, avocado, and cucumber in a line across the center of the rice.
Roll the sushi tightly, using the mat to shape it. Moisten the top border with water to seal the roll.
