Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Sashimi-grade yellowtail (Hamachi)
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.5 large Cucumber
- 2 sheets Nori (seaweed sheets)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoons Rice vinegar (optional, Paleo-compliant brand)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste (optional, Paleo-compliant)
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower rice by microwaving it for 2-3 minutes or lightly steaming, then let it cool completely. For extra flavor (optional), mix the cauliflower rice with a tiny splash of Paleo-compliant rice vinegar.
Slice the yellowtail into thin, sashimi-style pieces, roughly 2-3 inches in length.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin strips.
Peel the cucumber, then cut it into thin, julienned strips.
Lay a sheet of nori on a flat surface or bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side down.
Spread a thin, even layer of the cooled cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge uncovered to help seal the roll later.
Place cucumber, avocado, and yellowtail pieces in a straight line across the center of the cauliflower rice.
Carefully begin rolling the nori from the edge closest to you, using the bamboo mat (if available) to help secure a tight roll. Slightly dampen the uncovered edge of the nori with water to seal the roll.
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into even pieces (about 1 inch thick). Clean the knife between cuts for clean edges.
Serve immediately with coconut aminos for dipping, optional wasabi paste for extra heat, and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
