Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium fillet Skin-on salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Allow it to cool slightly, then remove the skin and flake the salmon into small pieces using a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the cauliflower rice by placing it in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave the cauliflower rice on high for 3-4 minutes, or until tender.
Once cooked, transfer the cauliflower rice to a mixing bowl, add rice vinegar and a pinch of salt, and mix well. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Peel and slice the avocado into thin slices. Peel, deseed, and cut the cucumber into long, thin matchsticks.
On a clean sushi rolling mat, place one nori sheet shiny side down.
Spread about 1/2 cup of the cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese across the bottom third of the rice-covered nori.
Arrange a few slices of cooked salmon, avocado slices, and cucumber matchsticks across the cream cheese.
Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
Wet the exposed top edge of the nori sheet with a bit of water.
Using the sushi mat, roll the nori tightly around the fillings, pressing gently to seal. Keep rolling until you reach the edge of the nori.
Using a sharp knife, cut the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Repeat the process with remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
Serve immediately with soy sauce or tamari for dipping.
