Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillet
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
Instructions
Begin by patting the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
Remove the salmon fillets from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly. Once cooled, flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces with a fork.
While the salmon is cooling, prep the vegetables. Peel and julienne the carrot and cucumber into thin strips. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice it thinly.
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, coconut aminos, and red pepper flakes to make the dipping sauce.
Lay a nori sheet flat on a cutting board. Place a small bunch of each prepared vegetable on one end of the sheet, then add a portion of flaked salmon and a few slices of avocado.
Sprinkle the filling with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
To form the handroll, start rolling from the filled side into a cone shape, ensuring the filling stays neatly packed.
Serve immediately with the dipping sauce on the side, allowing each person to dip their handrolls as desired.
