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.

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.

Roll the sushi tightly, using the mat to shape it. Moisten the top border with water to seal the roll.
