Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh salmon fillet
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 1 large cucumber
- 1 large avocado
- 4 sheets nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons whole30 compliant mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
Instructions
Begin by cutting the salmon fillet into thin strips, approximately 1 cm wide. Set aside in the refrigerator.
Clean the cauliflower and remove the florets from the stems. Use a food processor to pulse the cauliflower into rice-sized pieces.
In a pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of water. Add the cauliflower rice, stirring often for about 5 minutes until the cauliflower begins to soften. Add the rice vinegar and salt, mix well, and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Peel the cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds with a spoon. Slice into thin strips.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice into thin strips.
Lay one nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat or on a piece of parchment paper.
Spread a thin layer of cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of the nori uncovered at the top edge.
Arrange a line of cucumber strips, avocado slices, and salmon strips about 1 inch from the bottom edge of the nori.
Drizzle a thin line of Whole30 compliant mayonnaise over the fillings.
Begin rolling the nori over the fillings, using the bamboo mat or parchment paper to help compress the roll. Make sure to roll tightly for a firm sushi roll.
Moisten the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
Once all rolls are complete, use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 6-8 even pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Sprinkle black sesame seeds over the rolls for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Salmon Sushi Rolls!
