Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Salmon fillet (sushi-grade), skinless
- 6 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by carefully slicing the salmon fillet into long, thin strips, approximately 0.5 cm thick, and set it aside.
Peel the avocado, remove the pit, and place the flesh into a small mixing bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth. Add lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until combined.
Julienne the cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper into matchstick-size pieces. Set them aside for assembly.
Lay a nori sheet onto a flat surface or sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of the mashed avocado mixture across the bottom third of the nori sheet.
Place a few strips of salmon, some julienned cucumber, carrot, and bell pepper evenly over the avocado spread. Sprinkle some chopped chives over the top.
Carefully roll the nori sheet tightly from the bottom, using gentle pressure to keep the roll firm and intact. Wet the edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
Repeat the assembling process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.
Once assembled, use a sharp knife to gently slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, around 2 cm thick.
Serve the Maki Salmon with coconut aminos as a natural Whole30-compliant soy sauce alternative. Enjoy immediately.
