Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Fresh salmon
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 large Cucumber
- 3 sheets Nori sheets
- 3 tablespoons Whole30-compliant mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the salmon. Ensure it is skinless, and cut it into thin, even slices approximately 1/4 inch thick.
2. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully peel away the skin. Slice the avocado into thin strips.
3. Use a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer to create long, thin strips of cucumber. Aim for strips that are about 1/16 inch thick to ensure they are flexible enough for rolling.
4. In a small bowl, mix Whole30-compliant mayonnaise with lime juice and salt. This will serve as your Whole30-approved spicy mayo.
5. Lay a nori sheet flat on a cutting board. Spread a thin layer of the spicy mayo mixture evenly over the nori, leaving a 1/2 inch border at one end.
6. Place a few strips of salmon and avocado along one edge of the nori.
7. Place a cucumber strip at the edge of the nori over the salmon and avocado filling.
8. Carefully roll the nori sheet tightly towards the border that has no filling, using light pressure to shape it into a round sushi roll.
9. Once rolled, let it sit for a minute to seal, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
10. Repeat these steps with the remaining nori sheets, salmon, avocado, and cucumber.
11. Serve immediately with optional wasabi for an extra kick.
