1. Preheat the oven to 200Β°C (392Β°F).
2. Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos, olive oil, and lemon juice over the salmon.
3. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until fully cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Remove the salmon from the oven and let cool slightly before flaking it into small pieces.
5. Halve the avocado, remove the seed, and scoop out the flesh. Slice into thin strips.
6. Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
7. About 1/3 of the way up from the bottom edge, layer a few strips of avocado, a small handful of cooked salmon pieces, some julienned cucumber and carrot, a sprinkle of scallions, and a small dab of wasabi if desired.
8. Begin to roll up the sushi using the bamboo mat for assistance, maintaining a tight roll.
9. Lightly dampen the top edge of the nori sheet with water to seal the roll.
10. Slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
11. Garnish the sushi rolls with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
12. Serve immediately with grated ginger and the remaining coconut aminos as dipping sauce.
