Ingredients
- 200 grams Salmon fillet
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 50 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 sheet Nori sheets
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Chives
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the outer leaves and roughly chop the cauliflower, then place it in a food processor and pulse until it resembles rice grains.
Step 2
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes until tender.
Step 3
Once cooked, let the cauliflower rice cool slightly, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice with cream cheese, rice vinegar, and salt. Mix well to ensure the cauliflower is well-coated and begins to stick together.
Step 5
Slice the salmon fillet into thin strips, approximately 1 by 3 inches, and set aside. Ensure the salmon is sushi-grade if serving raw.
Step 6
Take about 1-2 tablespoons of the cauliflower rice mixture and shape it into an oval mound using your hands.
Step 7
Lay a strip of salmon over the top of each rice mound, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 8
If desired, cut the nori sheet into thin strips and wrap one strip around each nigiri to secure the salmon.
Step 9
Sprinkle each piece with sesame seeds and finely chopped chives for garnish.
Step 10
Serve the keto salmon nigiri with soy sauce and wasabi on the side. Enjoy immediately for the freshest taste.
