Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 4 Nori sheets
- 0.5 pound Salmon fillet
- 1 small Cucumber
- 1 Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi powder (optional)
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until it resembles rice-sized grains.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes until tender. Let it cool slightly.
Once cooled, stir in the rice vinegar to the cauliflower rice to give it a sushi rice-like flavor.
Slice the salmon fillet into thin strips. If preferred, you can sear the slices lightly in a pan for a few seconds on each side if you don't want to eat it raw.
Cut the cucumber into thin julienne strips and the avocado into thin slices.
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or on a clean, dry surface, shiny side down.
Spread a thin layer of cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Place a few strips of salmon, cucumber, and two avocado slices in a line about 1 inch from the bottom edge of the nori.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Moisten the top edge of the nori with water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Use a sharp knife dipped in water to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rolls, and serve the rolls with coconut aminos and, if desired, a small amount of wasabi.
