Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 250 grams Fresh salmon
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 large Carrot
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 3 tablespoons Toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sliced green onions
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the outer leaves and stem of the cauliflower and chop it into florets.
Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they reach a rice-like consistency.
In a large skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the riced cauliflower and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft. Stir in the lemon juice and salt. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
While the cauliflower rice cools, prepare the fillings. Slice the fresh salmon into thin, even strips. Peel, pit, and slice the avocado. Cut the cucumber and carrot into thin julienne strips.
To assemble the sushi rolls, place a sheet of plastic wrap on a bamboo sushi mat. Place a nori sheet shiny-side down and evenly spread about a quarter of the cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge.
Sprinkle a portion of the toasted sesame seeds over the cauliflower rice.
Carefully flip the nori sheet over so that the rice is facing down and the nori is facing up.
Arrange some salmon, avocado, cucumber, and carrot strips along the nori (on one side). Drizzle with a little coconut aminos.
Using the bamboo mat, gently roll the sushi tightly, pressing gently as you go. Secure the edge with the moisture from the cauliflower rice.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve the sushi rolls immediately with additional coconut aminos for dipping.
