Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower florets
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 8 ounces Fresh salmon, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced
• 0.5 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari (optional for serving)
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional for serving)
• 0.25 cup Pickled ginger (optional for serving)
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice: Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and break it into florets. Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is tender and any excess moisture has evaporated. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

Once cooled, in a bowl, mix the cooked cauliflower rice with the cream cheese, seasoning with salt to taste. This helps mimic the texture and stickiness of traditional sushi rice.

Step 4

Lay one nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat wrapped in plastic wrap. Spread ¼ of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of nori uncovered at the top for sealing.

Step 5

Arrange a thin layer of salmon slices, avocado, and cucumber strips horizontally across the middle of the cauliflower rice-covered nori sheet.

Step 6

Lift the bamboo mat edge closest to you and begin rolling it over the filling, applying gentle pressure to ensure a compact roll. Continue rolling towards the uncovered nori edge, applying light pressure to form a tight roll.

Step 7

Seal the roll by lightly moistening the edge of the nori sheet with water and pressing it against the roll.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings to create a total of four rolls.

Step 9

With a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, wiping the knife with a wet cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.

Step 10

Serve with soy sauce or tamari, wasabi, pickled ginger, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
