Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 4 Nori sheets
- 8 ounces Fresh salmon
- 1 Cucumber
- 1 Avocado
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice and rice vinegar, mixing well to incorporate the flavors. Set aside.
Slice the fresh salmon into long thin strips, about 1/2-inch wide, and set aside.
Peel the cucumber and slice it into long thin strips, similar to the salmon. Do the same with the avocado.
Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread 1/2 cup of cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of the nori uncovered at the top edge.
Place a line of salmon strips across the center of the cauliflower rice. Add a layer of cream cheese by spreading 1 tablespoon along the salmon strip.
Add a few pieces of cucumber and avocado strips right next to the salmon.
To roll, lift the edge of the sushi mat closest to you and roll away from you, tucking the ingredients firmly as you go. Use gentle pressure to form a tight roll, sealing the roll with the edge of the nori.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each roll, then cut each roll into 6-8 equal-sized pieces using a sharp knife.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), a small dollop of wasabi paste, and pickled ginger on the side.
