Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower (about 1 medium head)
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 8 ounces Sushi-grade salmon
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 whole Avocado
• 0.5 whole Cucumber
• 0 to taste Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
• 0 to taste Wasabi paste
• 0 to taste Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower and cut it into florets.

Step 2

Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice grains. Be careful not to over-process.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower rice into a microwave-safe bowl, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for about 3-4 minutes, or until tender. Alternatively, steam over a pot of boiling water for the same amount of time.

Step 4

Allow the cauliflower rice to cool slightly, then gently press it between kitchen towels or paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 5

Season the cauliflower rice with the rice vinegar, mixing well to ensure even distribution. Set aside.

Step 6

Slice the sushi-grade salmon into thin strips. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and cut the flesh into strips. Peel and cut the cucumber into thin matchsticks.

Step 7

Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.

Step 8

Spread a thin layer of the seasoned cauliflower rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of the top edge uncovered.

Step 9

Arrange strips of salmon, avocado, and cucumber across the center of the rice-covered nori sheet.

Step 10

Using the sushi mat, gently lift the bottom edge of the nori over the fillings, pressing down to keep the roll tight. Continue rolling to the top edge, using slight pressure to ensure the roll remains compact.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Use a sharp knife to slice the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 13

Repeat the rolling process with the remaining ingredients.

Step 14

Serve the low carb salmon sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi paste, and pickled ginger as accompaniments.
