Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Japanese mayo (Kewpie or regular mayo)
- 1 medium Sliced avocado
- 0.5 cup Sliced cucumber
- 4 ounces Sashimi-grade salmon or tuna
- 1 sheet Sheets of nori (seaweed)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, egg, shredded mozzarella cheese, and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce. Mix well until the ingredients come together to form a dough-like consistency.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the prepared baking sheet and flatten it into an even round shape, about 1/4-inch thick, resembling a pizza crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
While the crust is baking, prepare the topping mixture by combining cream cheese, Japanese mayo, and sriracha (if using) in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
Once the crust has cooled slightly, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface of the crust.
Top the pizza with sliced avocado, cucumber, and pieces of sashimi-grade salmon or tuna. Arrange the ingredients artfully for a visually appealing presentation.
Cut the sheet of nori into thin strips and use them to garnish the pizza. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for added flavor and crunch.
Slice the sushi pizza into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy with extra soy sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
