A Philadelphia roll is a makizushi (also classified as a kawarizushi)^[1] type of sushi generally made with smoked (or sometimes raw) salmon, cream cheese, and avocado, with the rice on the outside (uramaki).^[2] It is sometimes made with imitation crab instead of salmon, but can be found to include other ingredients, such as other types of fish,^[3] cucumber,^[4] scallions,^[5] and sesame seed. Like many Western-inspired sushi rolls, its design and name are modified to target an American market, which includes putting the rice on the outside, and the nori in the inside (inside-out sushi) to appeal to western aesthetics.^[6][7]

In the Pacific Northwest, the Philadelphia roll is often called a Seattle roll.^[8]
