Start by prepping the salmon. Dice the sashimi-grade salmon into small cubes and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha together to create a spicy mayo sauce. Add the diced salmon to the bowl and gently toss to coat evenly. Place this mixture in the fridge to chill while you prepare the other ingredients.
Using a vegetable peeler or mandolin slicer, slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin, wide ribbons. Pat the ribbons dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Prepare the konjac (miracle) rice according to the package instructions. Once ready, mix it with cream cheese to create a sticky, rice-like consistency that will hold well in the roll.
Lay a sheet of nori, shiny-side down, on a clean bamboo sushi mat or a piece of plastic wrap. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese rice mixture evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top for sealing later.
Place a few cucumber ribbons horizontally across the bottom third of the nori sheet. Add a generous layer of the spicy salmon mixture on top of the cucumber.
Using the sushi mat or plastic wrap, begin rolling the nori tightly from the bottom, pressing gently to ensure a firm roll. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
Slice the rolled sushi into bite-sized pieces (typically about 6 pieces per roll) using a sharp knife dipped lightly in water to prevent sticking.
Garnish the rolls with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onion.
Serve the keto spicy salmon rolls with soy sauce or coconut aminos for dipping.
