1. Remove the skin from the salmon fillet and slice it into thin strips or bite-sized cubes, depending on preference.
2. Break the cauliflower head into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice grains.
3. Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes or until soft. Allow it to cool.
4. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice with lemon juice and salt. Mix well to season the rice.
5. Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
6. Spread a thin layer of cauliflower rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a small margin at the top edge.
7. Arrange a strip of salmon, cucumber julienne, and avocado slices horizontally about one inch from the bottom of the nori sheet.
8. Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi tightly from the bottom to the top, pressing gently to secure the roll.
9. Wet the top margin of the nori sheet with a bit of water to seal the roll. Repeat the same process with the remaining nori sheets and filling.
10. Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 6-8 pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.
11. Serve with coconut aminos as a dipping sauce. Enjoy your Paleo-friendly salmon sushi rolls!
