Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stems from the cauliflower head and cut it into small florets.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice grains.
Place the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 3-5 minutes, or until tender. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, stevia, and salt until the stevia and salt have dissolved.
Pour the vinegar mixture over the warm cauliflower rice and gently mix to combine. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Cut the nori sheets into thin strips using scissors or a sharp knife.
Slice the sashimi-grade salmon and tuna into bite-sized pieces.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin slices.
Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin slices.
For assembly, divide the cauliflower rice among serving bowls, spreading it out evenly.
Top each bowl with arranged slices of salmon, tuna, avocado, and cucumber.
Sprinkle the nori strips and sesame seeds over the top.
Serve with soy sauce, wasabi paste, and pickled ginger on the side.
