Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a non-stick skillet and cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it becomes tender. Remove from heat and stir in the rice vinegar and salt. Allow it to cool.
While the cauliflower rice cools, slice the salmon into long, thin strips.
Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips. Do the same with the cucumber, removing seeds if necessary.
Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of the cooled cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border on the top edge.
Lay strips of salmon, avocado, and cucumber in a line across the middle of the cauliflower rice.
Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori sheet tightly over the filling. Seal the edge with a little water.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.
Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp, wet knife, cleaning the blade between cuts.
Serve the sushi rolls with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a side of coconut aminos for dipping.
