Soak rice for 4 hours. Drain rice and cook in a rice cooker with 2 cups of water. Rice must be slightly dry as vinegar will be added later.
Immediately after rice is cooked, mix in rice wine vinegar; spread rice on a plate until completely cool.
Place 1 sheet of seaweed on a bamboo mat; press a thin layer of cool rice on seaweed, leaving at least a 1/2 inch top and bottom edge of the seaweed uncovered. This is for easier sealing later. Dot some wasabi on rice; arrange smoked salmon, cucumber, and avocado on rice about 1 inch away from the bottom edge of seaweed.
Slightly wet the top edge of seaweed; roll up tightly from the bottom to the top edge with the help of the bamboo mat. Cut salmon roll into 8 equal pieces and serve. Repeat for other rolls.

When making smoked salmon sushi rolls, the quality of your ingredients is key. Since the smoked salmon is not cooked, choose high-quality, fresh cold-smoked salmon for the best flavor and safety. Preparing the sushi rice properly is crucial—rinse the rice several times to remove excess starch, then cook it and season it with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Make sure the rice cools to room temperature before assembling the rolls.
