Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 8 ounces Fresh salmon, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari (optional for serving)
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional for serving)
- 0.25 cup Pickled ginger (optional for serving)
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice: Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and break it into florets. Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is tender and any excess moisture has evaporated. Allow to cool slightly.
Once cooled, in a bowl, mix the cooked cauliflower rice with the cream cheese, seasoning with salt to taste. This helps mimic the texture and stickiness of traditional sushi rice.
Lay one nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat wrapped in plastic wrap. Spread ¼ of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of nori uncovered at the top for sealing.
Arrange a thin layer of salmon slices, avocado, and cucumber strips horizontally across the middle of the cauliflower rice-covered nori sheet.
Lift the bamboo mat edge closest to you and begin rolling it over the filling, applying gentle pressure to ensure a compact roll. Continue rolling towards the uncovered nori edge, applying light pressure to form a tight roll.
Seal the roll by lightly moistening the edge of the nori sheet with water and pressing it against the roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings to create a total of four rolls.
With a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, wiping the knife with a wet cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.
Serve with soy sauce or tamari, wasabi, pickled ginger, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
