Grease and line a 19 cm square cake pan with plastic wrap. Place one nori sheet, trimming to fit, shiny side-down, over base of pan. Spread half the rice mixture over nori. Top with salmon; sprinkle with chilli.
Combine avocado and juice in a small bowl. Place avocado mixture over salmon; top with remaining rice mixture. Place remaining nori sheet, trimming to fit, shiny side-up, over rice mixture. Cover nori with plastic wrap. Place food cans on sushi to weight it down. Refrigerate for 6 hrs or until firm enough to cut.
To make pickled cucumber, combine ingredients in a medium bowl; stand for 5 mins for flavours to develop. Drain.
Remove sushi from pan; cut into squares. Serve with pickled cucumber.
TIP Serve with soy sauce and wasabi.
