Ingredients

• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 8 ounces Fresh salmon
• 1 large Cucumber
• 1 large Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. If using fresh cauliflower, pulse the florets in a food processor until they reach rice-like consistency.

Step 2

Steam the cauliflower rice lightly in a microwave or stovetop for about 3-5 minutes to soften it slightly. Allow it to cool for a few minutes.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a large bowl and mix in the rice vinegar and a pinch of salt to give it a slightly tangy flavor.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Spread an even layer of cauliflower rice over two-thirds of the nori sheet, using your fingers or a rice paddle. Leaving the top third of the nori empty will help seal the roll.

Step 6

Slice the fresh salmon, cucumber, and avocado into thin strips.

Step 7

Place a few slices of salmon, cucumber, and avocado horizontally across the center of the rice-covered nori.

Step 8

Add a small amount of cream cheese, if desired, on top of the filling ingredients.

Step 9

Using the bamboo mat as a guide, carefully roll the sushi, starting from the edge closest to you, over the filling. Press gently to shape the roll as you go.

Step 10

Moisten the top edge of the nori with a little water to help seal the roll.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients to make more rolls.

Step 12

Use a sharp, clean knife to cut each roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp towel between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Step 13

Serve the low-carb sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
