Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Erythritol sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 8 ounces Fresh salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 sheets Nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted
Instructions
Start by preparing the cauliflower rice: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, rice vinegar, erythritol, and salt. Mix well until the cauliflower rice is well-flavored and set aside.
Next, slice the fresh salmon fillet into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, and set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, avocado oil, mayonnaise, sriracha, lemon juice, and grated ginger to create a spicy mayo sauce.
Lay out the nori sheets on a flat surface and evenly spread the seasoned cauliflower rice over each sheet, leaving a small border on the edge.
Arrange the sliced salmon strips across the cauliflower rice on each nori sheet.
Using a small kitchen torch, carefully sear the salmon strips until they are slightly charred on the surface. This technique gives the salmon that delicious 'aburi' flavor.
Drizzle the spicy mayo sauce over the charred salmon strips.
Sprinkle finely chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds on top for extra flavor and garnish.
Carefully roll each nori sheet into a tight sushi roll, using a bamboo mat if necessary for a secure roll.
Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy your Keto Aburi Salmon Sushi!
