I make sushi from scratch every Saturday. It all started with a make-your-own-sushi-kit birthday present from my wonderful sister. Each time, I make my favorite classics: Spicy Tuna Roll, Philadelphia Roll, 49ers Roll. I also make two or three experimental rolls. Some are flops, but very few become classics in their own right.

The roll you see in aluminum foil is the Lion King Roll. It's one of my all-time favorite rolls, but I usually don't make it because it's so heavy that it practically ruins your palette. You can use either unagi or salmon, but I think the salmon version tastes better. It's salmon and avocado on the inside, topped with slices of salmon, Swiss cheese and a homemade sauce similar to unagi sauce, which I make by mixing mayo and thick teriyaki sauce. You broil the roll for a few minutes, and it's heaven. The salmon melts in your mouth with the cheese, and the sauce on top just brings everything together.
