Ingredients
- 12 slices Salmon
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 4 tablespoons Cream Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi
- 2 sheets Nori Sheets
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Erythritol
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cauliflower 'rice'. Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
Step 2
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 3-4 minutes until tender. Let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Once the cauliflower cools down, place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, cream cheese, rice vinegar, salt, and erythritol. Mix until well combined and sticky.
Step 5
Refrigerate the cauliflower mixture for about 10 minutes to firm it up slightly.
Step 6
Cut the nori sheets into thin strips that will be used to tie around the nigiri later, if desired.
Step 7
Take approximately a tablespoon of the cauliflower mixture and shape it into an oblong nigiri shape with your hands.
Step 8
Lay a slice of salmon over each cauliflower nigiri shape. If desired, wrap a nori strip around the center of the nigiri to secure the salmon.
Step 9
To serve, arrange the Keto Nigiri Salmon on a platter. Mix the soy sauce and wasabi in a small dish for dipping.
Step 10
Serve immediately with the wasabi soy sauce on the side and enjoy your keto-friendly sushi experience!
