Ingredients

• 4 oz Yellowtail sashimi-grade fish
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 0.5 large Avocado
• 2 sheets Nori (seaweed) sheets
• 2 tbsp Cream cheese (optional, check for keto-friendly varieties)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce or coconut aminos
• 0.5 tsp Wasabi paste
• 1 oz Pickled ginger (sugar-free if keto-compliant)
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing your ingredients. Slice the yellowtail sashimi-grade fish into thin, even strips. Peel the cucumber and cut into thin matchstick-sized strips. Remove the avocado pit and slice the avocado into thin slices.

Step 2

Lay a sheet of nori (shiny side down) on a sushi rolling mat or a flat surface. If you don’t have a mat, you can use a piece of parchment paper.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of cream cheese across the lower third of the nori sheet. Skip this step if you prefer not to use cream cheese.

Step 4

Place a few slices of yellowtail, cucumber, and avocado horizontally across the cream cheese layer (or at the edge of the nori if not using the cream cheese). Ensure the fillings are evenly distributed to make rolling easier.

Step 5

Using the sushi mat or your hands, carefully roll the nori tightly into a cylinder, starting from the edge with the fillings. Apply gentle pressure to ensure the roll is firm and well-shaped.

Step 6

Once the roll is complete, use a sharp knife to slice it into bite-sized pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the second sheet of nori and the remaining ingredients.

Step 8

Arrange the slices on a serving plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve alongside soy sauce (or coconut aminos), wasabi paste, and sugar-free pickled ginger as condiments.
