Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 8 oz Wild-caught smoked salmon
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 1 tsp Wasabi
- 2 tbsp Pickled ginger
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cauliflower rice and sauté for about 5 minutes, until slightly tender. Remove from heat and mix in the rice vinegar. Let it cool completely.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh onto a cutting board. Slice thinly and set aside.
Trim the cucumber and cut it into long, thin strips.
Lay out a bamboo sushi mat on a cutting surface and place one nori sheet on top, shiny side down.
Spread 1/2 cup of cooled cauliflower rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of nori uncovered at the top edge.
About 1 inch from the bottom edge, place a line of smoked salmon, a few slices of avocado, and cucumber strips.
Dot a few small pieces of cream cheese along the line of fillings.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi starting from the edge nearest you. Roll tightly while keeping the fillings in place. Seal the roll by moistening the top edge of the nori with water.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife clean with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Arrange the sushi rolls on a platter and sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.
Serve with soy sauce or coconut aminos, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
