Break the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until it resembles the texture of rice.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a bowl, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 5 minutes until soft.
Let the cauliflower rice cool slightly, then mix in rice vinegar and cream cheese until well combined and sticky.
Lay a sheet of nori on a sushi mat, shiny side down.
Spread a quarter of the cauliflower rice mixture over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Peel the cucumber and avocado. Cut both, as well as the fish, into thin strips.
Arrange slices of cucumber, avocado, and fresh fish lengthwise on top of the cauliflower rice.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of fish roe on top of the filling.
Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, applying gentle pressure to shape a tight cylinder.
Seal the edge with a dab of water. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make four rolls.
Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces with a sharp knife, keeping the blade moist for smooth cuts.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
