Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. If you havenβt already, chop a head of cauliflower into rough florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles the texture of rice.
In a medium bowl, combine the cauliflower rice with coconut aminos. Stir well to blend the flavors.
Slice the wild-caught salmon into thin strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide.
Julienne the cucumber and carrot. Also, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and then cut it into thin strips.
Lay out a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side down.
Spread approximately 1/2 cup of the cauliflower rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border on the top edge to seal the roll.
Place a few strips of salmon, cucumber, carrot, and avocado along the edge of the cauliflower rice closest to you.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, applying gentle pressure to form a log. Moisten the top edge of the nori with a bit of water, then roll to seal.
Slice the roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp, wet knife to prevent sticking.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients, creating additional rolls.
Arrange the rolls on a platter and sprinkle the top with sesame seeds.
Serve with wasabi paste and pickled ginger on the side for garnish and additional flavor.
