Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Salmon
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 4 tablespoons Cream Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi
- 2 sheets Nori Sheets
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Erythritol
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower 'rice'. Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 3-4 minutes until tender. Let it cool slightly.
Once the cauliflower cools down, place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, cream cheese, rice vinegar, salt, and erythritol. Mix until well combined and sticky.
Refrigerate the cauliflower mixture for about 10 minutes to firm it up slightly.
Cut the nori sheets into thin strips that will be used to tie around the nigiri later, if desired.
Take approximately a tablespoon of the cauliflower mixture and shape it into an oblong nigiri shape with your hands.
Lay a slice of salmon over each cauliflower nigiri shape. If desired, wrap a nori strip around the center of the nigiri to secure the salmon.
To serve, arrange the Keto Nigiri Salmon on a platter. Mix the soy sauce and wasabi in a small dish for dipping.
Serve immediately with the wasabi soy sauce on the side and enjoy your keto-friendly sushi experience!
