Of the seven types of sushi we made last night, this was by far the best. I loved the smoked salmon with the cream cheese and onion....went great in the rice. It also looked pretty with the bright red salmon. Thank you so much for sharing this delicious sushi recipe that I will continue to make as I LOVED it.

I'm eating some of this right now and it's delicious. I occasionally make makizushi and was looking for something different. The use of the cream cheese intrigued me and I have to say that the taste of all these flavours go together quite well. I shared it with a friend of mine who is a VERY finicky eater who has never eaten any sushi before and she enjoyed the taste of it. (I don't know who was more surprised; me or her boyfriend who typically does most of the cooking in their relationship) I think I will make a lot of this, not just for myself but for friends and family who may not be crazy about sashimi but may find themselves able to enjoy the flavour in a more western way. Thanks!

Great idea and very tasty too! Wonderful as an appetizer, however we couldn't stop eating them and made a meal out of it!Plan to make again, this time experiment a little by adding a little crunch. Thinking of trying thnly sliced radishes, cut into match book sticks. Thanks for sharing Sara!
