Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 4 Nori sheets
- 8 ounces Fresh salmon
- 1 Cucumber
- 1 Avocado
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice and rice vinegar, mixing well to incorporate the flavors. Set aside.
Step 2
Slice the fresh salmon into long thin strips, about 1/2-inch wide, and set aside.
Step 3
Peel the cucumber and slice it into long thin strips, similar to the salmon. Do the same with the avocado.
Step 4
Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread 1/2 cup of cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of the nori uncovered at the top edge.
Step 5
Place a line of salmon strips across the center of the cauliflower rice. Add a layer of cream cheese by spreading 1 tablespoon along the salmon strip.
Step 6
Add a few pieces of cucumber and avocado strips right next to the salmon.
Step 7
To roll, lift the edge of the sushi mat closest to you and roll away from you, tucking the ingredients firmly as you go. Use gentle pressure to form a tight roll, sealing the roll with the edge of the nori.
Step 8
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each roll, then cut each roll into 6-8 equal-sized pieces using a sharp knife.
Step 9
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), a small dollop of wasabi paste, and pickled ginger on the side.
