Ingredients

• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha
• 4 ounces Fresh salmon (sushi-grade), diced
• 1 small Cucumber, julienned
• 0.5 whole Avocado, sliced thinly
• 2 whole Nori sheets
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 2 teaspoons Spicy mayo (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower rice: In a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the cauliflower rice for 2-3 minutes to remove excess moisture, then transfer it to a bowl.

Step 2

Season the cauliflower rice: Stir in the rice vinegar and cream cheese while the rice is still warm, mixing until well combined.

Step 3

Prepare the spicy salmon filling: In a small bowl, combine the diced salmon, soy sauce, and Sriracha. Adjust the spice level based on your preference.

Step 4

Set up your sushi rolling station: Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of plastic wrap over it. Place a nori sheet on top, rough side facing up.

Step 5

Spread the cauliflower rice: Using a spoon or your hands, spread half the cauliflower rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch uncovered at the top edge.

Step 6

Assemble the roll: Arrange half of the cucumber slices, sliced avocado, and spicy salmon mixture in a horizontal line about 1 inch from the bottom edge of the nori sheet.

Step 7

Roll the sushi: Using the bamboo mat, gently but firmly roll the sushi away from you, tucking the filling in as you go. Moisten the uncovered edge with a bit of water to seal the roll.

Step 8

Cut the roll: Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients.

Step 9

Garnish and serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the tops of the slices and drizzle with spicy mayo if desired. Serve immediately with soy sauce for dipping.
