Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 sheets nori seaweed sheets
- 200 grams sashimi-grade salmon
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 medium avocado
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons pickled ginger
Instructions
Slice the sashimi-grade salmon into thin strips, approximately 1 cm wide.
Peel the cucumber and slice it into long, thin strips.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice each half into thin strips.
Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, with the shiny side facing down.
Spread approximately 25 grams of cream cheese evenly over the bottom third of the nori sheet.
Place several strips of salmon, cucumber, and avocado on top of the cream cheese.
Drizzle a small amount of soy sauce over the fillings, and sprinkle with a pinch of toasted sesame seeds.
Begin rolling the nori sheet tightly from the bottom, using the bamboo mat to apply gentle pressure until a tight roll forms.
Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 6-8 even pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean edges.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.
Serve the Keto Maki Salmon with wasabi paste, pickled ginger, and extra soy sauce for dipping.
