Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
- 200 grams Fresh tuna
- 200 grams Fresh salmon
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 sheets Nori sheets
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into small florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles the texture of rice.
In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for 5-7 minutes or until tender.
Remove the cauliflower rice from the heat and stir in coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and sea salt. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Slice the fresh tuna and salmon into thin, bite-sized pieces suitable for nigiri. Ensure all bones are removed.
Peel and slice the avocado into thin slices.
Cut the nori sheets into strips that are approximately 1 inch wide.
Use your hands to shape small oval-shaped balls (nigiri) from the cauliflower rice mixture. Ensure they are compact and firm.
Place a thin layer of wasabi paste on top of each cauliflower rice nigiri, and gently press a slice of tuna, salmon, or avocado on top.
Wrap a strip of nori around the nigiri, overlapping the ends slightly, and gently press to seal.
Repeat the assembly process until all ingredients have been used.
Arrange the Paleo Nigiri Sushi on a platter, and serve immediately with extra wasabi and coconut aminos for dipping.
