Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Salmon (sushi-grade)
- 6 pieces Nori sheets
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 stalks Green onion (scallion)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Optional wasabi (Paleo-compliant)
Instructions
Prepare the filling: Slice the sushi-grade salmon into thin strips about 0.5 cm thick and 10 cm long. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep cool.
Peel the cucumber and carrot, then slice them into thin matchsticks approximately the same length as the salmon strips. Chop the green onions into thin strips as well.
Make the avocado spread: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Mix in the lemon juice, sea salt, and wasabi (if using), to taste. Adjust for seasoning.
Set up your rolling station: Place the nori sheets, a small bowl of water for sealing the edges, the prepared salmon, vegetables, and avocado spread on a clean work surface.
Assemble the temaki rolls: Take one nori sheet and place it shiny side down on your work surface. Spread about 1 teaspoon of avocado mixture diagonally across the center of the sheet.
Place a couple of salmon strips, cucumber, carrot, and green onion over the avocado spread, keeping the layers neat and compact.
To roll: Fold one corner of the nori sheet over the filling, then gently wrap the remaining nori around to create a conical shape. Use a dab of water on the outer edge of the nori to seal the temaki.
Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets and fillings until all the rolls are assembled.
Serve immediately with coconut aminos on the side for dipping. Enjoy your Paleo-friendly temaki salmon!
