"This recipe is for the Culinary Quest #3 travelers who have "been there, done that" w/making sushi but liked it & want to enjoy the flavors again w/o all the fuss. Found @ bbcgoodfooddotcom, it's the 2nd of 2 recipes I found using my much-favored combo of avocado & smoked salmon, so I'm happy it joined my recipe collection. As bbcgoodfood says, "This dish contains the goodness of sushi but saves you the rolling & shaping." I'm not very familiar w/the Japanese cuisine, so my only problem w/this recipe was I didn't know which course(s) to assign since it seemed so multi-functional. In the end, I opted to treat it as an appetizer since its main intent was to be an easy-fix replacement for sushi. Time does not include marinating time. ENJOY!"
