Ingredients

• 200 grams Salmon fillet
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 400 grams Cauliflower rice
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 medium, ripe Avocado
• 4 pieces Nori sheets
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillet on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Let it cool slightly.

Step 4

While the salmon is baking, prepare the cauliflower rice. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the cauliflower rice for about 3-4 minutes or until tender. Drain any excess liquid.

Step 5

Stir the rice vinegar into the warm cauliflower rice to mimic sushi rice. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice thinly.

Step 7

Once the salmon has cooled slightly, gently flake it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 8

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean, flat surface. Lay a nori sheet on the mat, shiny side facing down.

Step 9

Spread an even layer of cauliflower rice over the nori sheet, leaving about 2 cm border at the top edge.

Step 10

Arrange a few slices of avocado and a line of flaked salmon along the bottom edge of the rice.

Step 11

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori over the fillings, pressing gently as you roll to form a tight cylinder. Seal the edge with a little water.

Step 12

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 13

With a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.

Step 14

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