Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Swerve sweetener
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 Nori sheets
• 200 grams Sushi-grade raw salmon
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 medium Avocado
• 0 optional, for serving Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 0 optional, for serving Wasabi
• 0 optional, for serving Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Remove the florets from the cauliflower head and pulse them in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency.

Step 2

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 3-4 minutes, stirring halfway, until tender. Allow it to cool.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, Swerve sweetener, and salt until the sweetener and salt have dissolved.

Step 4

Stir the vinegar mixture into the cooled cauliflower rice, ensuring it's well combined.

Step 5

Lay out a bamboo sushi rolling mat and place a nori sheet on top, shiny side down.

Step 6

Spread a quarter of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 7

Cut the salmon, cucumber, and avocado into thin strips.

Step 8

Place a few strips of each filling (salmon, cucumber, avocado) horizontally along the bottom third of the rice.

Step 9

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori and fillings away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Moisten the top border of the nori with a bit of water to seal the roll.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make four rolls.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 8 equal pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Step 12

Serve the keto sushi with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
