That's my reaction, too. "Philadelphia rolls" with salmon and cream cheese are common at sushi restaurants in the US. It's true that such a combination is not traditional Japanese, though you can find it now in Japan as the Japanese have imported the idea back from the US. But such rolls are so common here that even a purist for traditional sushi would have to be living with blinders on to be unaware of their popularity.
