Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 oz Salmon fillet
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Nori sheets
- 1 small Cucumber
- 3 tbsp Coconut aminos
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Drizzle the salmon fillet with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the salmon for 8-10 minutes or until fully cooked. Once done, flake the salmon into small pieces with a fork and let it cool.
While the salmon is baking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice and mash until smooth. Set aside.
Peel the cucumber and cut it into long, thin matchsticks.
Place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a sushi rolling mat or a clean, flat surface. Spread a thin layer of mashed avocado over the bottom half of the nori sheet, leaving about half an inch at the edges.
Arrange a line of flaked salmon and cucumber matchsticks over the avocado.
Start rolling the nori sheet from the bottom, using the sushi mat to keep it tight. Roll it up completely, then wet the exposed edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
Repeat the assembling and rolling process with the remaining nori, avocado, salmon, and cucumber.
Use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces. Serve with coconut aminos for dipping.
