Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Yellowtail (sashimi-grade, thinly sliced)
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice, cooked and cooled
- 0.5 whole Avocado, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Cucumber, julienned
- 0.25 cup Carrot, julienned
- 1 stalk Green onion, sliced thinly
- 3 whole Nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos (for dipping, optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, garnish)
Instructions
Lay one nori sheet shiny-side down on a bamboo sushi mat or clean, flat surface.
Spread 1/3 cup of the cooked and cooled cauliflower rice thinly and evenly over the entire nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch strip uncovered at the top edge.
Add a single layer of thinly sliced yellowtail horizontally across the center of the rice.
Top the yellowtail with a few slices of avocado, a small amount of cucumber, carrot, and a sprinkle of green onion.
Using the bamboo mat (or your hands if you don’t have a mat), carefully roll the nori sheet from the bottom edge upward, tucking tightly to form a roll. Seal the edge by slightly moistening the exposed strip of nori with water.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make three rolls total.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 even pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.
Optional: Sprinkle the rolls with sesame seeds or serve with coconut aminos for dipping.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30-compliant yellowtail rolls!
