Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces fresh salmon fillet
- 4 Nori seaweed sheets
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons whole30-approved mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (Whole30-compliant)
- 1 tablespoon green onion, finely sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cucumber, julienned
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar (optional, Whole30-compliant)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the cauliflower rice. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender. Remove from heat and stir in salt and rice vinegar (if using). Let it cool completely.
While the cauliflower rice cools, prepare the spicy salmon mixture. Using a sharp knife, finely dice the salmon fillet into small cubes. In a small bowl, mix the diced salmon with Whole30-approved mayonnaise and sriracha. Stir well to coat evenly. Set aside.
Lay out a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi rolling mat, shiny side facing down. Spread an even layer of the cooled cauliflower rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Arrange a small amount of spicy salmon mixture in a straight line across the center of the cauliflower rice. Add sliced avocado, julienned cucumber, and a sprinkle of green onion on top of the salmon.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori sheet up and over the filling, pressing gently but firmly to create a tight roll. Seal the roll by moistening the uncovered edge of nori with a small amount of water and pressing to secure.
Repeat the process for the remaining ingredients, making a total of four rolls.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between slices to ensure clean cuts.
Optional: Sprinkle the sliced sushi rolls with toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture.
Serve immediately with a side of coconut aminos for dipping. Enjoy your Whole30 Spicy Salmon Roll!
