Ingredients

• 6 ounces Yellowtail (sashimi-grade)
• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 sheets Nori sheets
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 0.5 medium Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari (low sodium)
• 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower rice: Heat the cauliflower rice in a skillet or microwave for 2-3 minutes until soft and tender. Allow it to cool, then stir in the rice vinegar to mimic the flavor of sushi rice.

Step 2

Slice the yellowtail into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, ensuring they're sashimi-sized for the roll.

Step 3

Cut the cucumber and avocado into thin, julienned strips for easy rolling.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Spread half a cup of the prepared cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top to seal the roll later.

Step 6

Layer a few slices of yellowtail, cucumber strips, avocado, and optional cream cheese in the center of the rice.

Step 7

Use the bamboo mat to carefully roll the nori, starting at the bottom edge. Press gently to form a tight roll; seal the edge with a small amount of water.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the second nori sheet to make another roll.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the low-carb yellowtail rolls with soy sauce or tamari, a dab of wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
