Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams sashimi-grade salmon
- 1 medium ripe avocado
- 1 small cucumber
- 2 sheets nori sheets
- 60 grams cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
- 30 grams pickled ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Slice the sashimi-grade salmon into thin strips, approximately 1 centimeter wide.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin strips.
Peel the cucumber and cut it into long, thin strips, removing seeds if necessary.
Prepare a bamboo sushi mat by covering it with plastic wrap to prevent sticking.
Lay a nori sheet on the bamboo mat. Spread 30 grams of cream cheese evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 centimeter margin at the top edge to seal the roll.
Arrange half of the salmon strips, avocado slices, and cucumber strips along the edge of the nori closest to you.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, squeezing gently as you roll to keep it tight. Use some water on your fingertips to seal the edge of the nori.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheet and ingredients.
Once both rolls are prepared, use a sharp knife to slice them into bite-sized pieces. Clean the knife between cuts for neat slices.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the tops of the rolls for added flavor and texture.
Serve the low-carb salmon and avocado sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi paste, and pickled ginger on the side for dipping and extra flavor.
