Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 8 ounces Sushi-grade raw salmon
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 large Cucumber
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Grate the cauliflower head using a box grater or pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice with a bit of water. Stir continuously for about 5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender. Remove from heat.

Step 3

While the cauliflower rice cools, stir in the rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and salt. Mix well to combine all flavors.

Step 4

Slice the sushi-grade salmon into thin strips. Aim for strips that are about 1/4 inch thick and 4 inches long.

Step 5

Peel the cucumber and slice it lengthwise into matchstick-sized strips. Do the same with the avocado by halving, pitting, and slicing it thinly.

Step 6

Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat or piece of parchment paper.

Step 7

Spread an even layer of the cauliflower rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch margin on the far side of the sheet.

Step 8

Place a strip of salmon, a few cucumber strips, and avocado slices across the center of the cauliflower rice.

Step 9

Using the sushi mat or parchment paper, gently lift the edge of the nori sheet closest to you and roll it over the filling. Continue rolling away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight cylinder.

Step 10

Seal the roll by moistening the far margin of the nori with a little water and then pressing gently.

Step 11

Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6 to 8 bite-sized pieces.

Step 12

Serve the sushi rolls with coconut aminos, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
