Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1.25 cups water
• 1.5 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 avocado
• 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (or low sodium cream cheese)
• 3 ounces sushi-grade salmon (or cooked shrimp, optional)
• 0.25 cucumber
• 0.25 carrot
• 1 nori sheet
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
• 1 green onion

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a small pot, combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Let cook for 15 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside (still covered) for another 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and low sodium soy sauce. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice using a spatula.

Step 4

Lightly oil a non-stick skillet with sesame oil and heat on medium. Press the sushi rice into the skillet in a circular, pizza-like shape about 1/2 inch thick. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly crispy and golden brown. Carefully transfer to a plate and let cool.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mash the avocado and mix it with the Greek yogurt (or low sodium cream cheese) to create a creamy base.

Step 6

Spread the avocado cream evenly over the cooled rice crust.

Step 7

Slice the cucumber, carrot, and green onion into thin strips or small pieces. If using sushi-grade salmon or cooked shrimp, slice it into bite-sized pieces as well.

Step 8

Arrange the cucumber, carrot, salmon/shrimp (if using), and thinly sliced nori on top of the avocado base.

Step 9

Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onion over the top for garnish.

Step 10

Slice into wedges like a pizza and serve immediately. Enjoy your low sodium sushi pizza!
