Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cauliflower rice (cooked and cooled)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 30 grams Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 100 grams Fresh salmon (sushi-grade, diced)
- 2 sheets Nori sheet (seaweed)
- 0.5 piece Avocado (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 piece Cucumber (julienned)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Pickled ginger
- 1 teaspoon Optional: Wasabi paste
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled cauliflower rice with the rice vinegar. Mix well to evenly flavor the cauliflower rice. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sriracha sauce, and mayonnaise. This will create a creamy and spicy sauce for the salmon.
Add the diced salmon to the spicy sauce, gently mixing to coat all the pieces evenly.
Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean kitchen towel, shiny side down.
Spread half the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori, leaving a 2 cm (1 inch) border at the top edge of the nori.
Lay a few slices of avocado, cucumber julienne, and a spoonful of the spicy salmon mixture horizontally across the middle of the rice-covered nori.
Using the sushi mat or kitchen towel, carefully roll the nori tightly away from you, tucking the filling in as you go. Wet the exposed edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients.
Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 6-8 equal pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp towel between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Plate the rolls and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve with soy sauce or tamari on the side, along with optional pickled ginger and wasabi paste.
