Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh salmon fillet
- 1 pieces large cucumber
- 1 pieces ripe avocado
- 50 grams cream cheese
- 2 sheets nori sheets
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 30 grams pickled ginger
- 1 teaspoon wasabi
Instructions
Start by slicing the salmon fillet into long strips, about 1/2 cm thick. Set aside.
Use a vegetable peeler or mandolin to slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin strips. These will serve as the sushi wrap instead of rice.
Peel the avocado, remove the pit, and slice it into thin strips.
On a clean surface, lay out the cucumber strips, slightly overlapping to form a larger rectangle.
Place a nori sheet on top of the cucumber strips.
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over the nori sheet to help the sticking of ingredients.
Lay down strips of salmon and avocado along the bottom edge of the cucumber-covered nori.
Carefully roll the cucumber and nori over the salmon and avocado, using gentle pressure to form a tight roll.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for added flavor and texture.
With a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.
Serve the keto sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and a dollop of wasabi on the side.
