Halve cucumber and scrape out seeds with a spoon. Cut cucumber the same width and size as fish strips. Halve avocado, remove pit, and cut the flesh into strips. If desired squeeze a little lemon juice over the avocado to prevent it from turning brown.

Fold 1 sheet of nori in half and tear in half crosswise. Lay a piece, smooth side down, on bamboo mat. Moisten hands and spread the sheet with a thin layer of rice, leaving a small border of nori uncovered so that the rice does not fall out while rolling. Press down gently. Add a thin stripe of wasabi paste. In the center of the rice, lay 1-2 fish and/or vegetable strips.

Place the filled sheet of nori on the lower edge of the mat. Use the mat to help you roll, while holding the filling with your fingers. Lightly press the mat after the first turn. Moisten the top edge of the nori sheet with water, lifting the mat, and finish rolling the sushi.
