Ingredients

• 200 grams Yellowtail fillet (sashimi-grade)
• 150 grams Cauliflower rice
• 2 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
• 0.5 teaspoons Wasabi paste
• 1 tablespoon Pickled ginger (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, lightly sauté the cauliflower rice for 3-5 minutes until tender. Stir in the rice vinegar, then set aside to cool completely.

Step 2

Slice the yellowtail fillet into thin strips (about 1 cm wide) and keep them chilled until ready to use.

Step 3

Peel and pit the avocado, then cut it into thin slices. Slice the cucumber lengthwise into strips, discarding the seeds.

Step 4

Lay a sheet of nori shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread half of the cooled cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving about 2 cm of space at the top edge.

Step 5

Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese along the center of the cauliflower rice. Layer with slices of yellowtail, avocado, and cucumber.

Step 6

Using the bamboo mat, tightly roll the sushi from the bottom edge toward the top, applying gentle pressure to secure the roll. Dab a tiny amount of water at the top edge of the nori to seal the roll.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 even pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between slices to maintain clean cuts.

Step 9

Serve the low-carb yellowtail sushi rolls immediately with soy sauce (or tamari), wasabi paste, and optional pickled ginger on the side.
