Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 8 ounces White fish (like cod, haddock, or halibut), sashimi-grade
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 whole Avocado
- 0.5 whole Cucumber
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Wasabi paste (optional, Paleo-compliant)
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional, Paleo-compliant)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. If using store-bought cauliflower rice, skip this step. Otherwise, pulse the florets of one medium cauliflower in a food processor until they resemble the texture of rice.
Lightly steam the cauliflower rice in a pan for 3-4 minutes over medium heat to make it tender, then let it cool completely.
Season the cooled cauliflower rice with a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
Prepare your sushi fillings. Slice the sashimi-grade white fish into thin strips, about a quarter-inch thick. Peel and thinly slice the avocado and cucumber into matchstick-like pieces.
Place one sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a sushi mat or a piece of parchment paper. Spread about 1/2 cup of the seasoned cauliflower rice evenly across the bottom two-thirds of the nori sheet.
Arrange strips of white fish, avocado, and cucumber horizontally across the center of the cauliflower rice.
Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori sheet tightly, starting from the filled side and gently pressing as you roll to form a firm sushi roll.
Once fully rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 equal pieces. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
Serve the Paleo white fish sushi with Paleo-compliant coconut aminos for dipping, optional wasabi paste for heat, and/or pickled ginger for garnish. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sushi for additional texture and flavor, if desired.
Enjoy your fresh and healthy Paleo-inspired sushi!
