Ingredients

• 5 pieces Nori sheets
• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 8 ounces Sushi-grade raw salmon
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 medium Carrot
• 2 stalks Scallions
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower rice by placing 2 cups of cauliflower florets into a food processor. Pulse until it resembles the texture of rice.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos, 1 teaspoon of honey, and 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt. Stir until honey dissolves, then add the cauliflower rice. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower rice soaks up the liquid. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

Slice the sushi-grade raw salmon into thin strips.

Step 4

Peel the cucumber and cut it into long, thin sticks. Do the same with the carrot.

Step 5

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into strips.

Step 6

Finely chop the scallions.

Step 7

Lay a nori sheet on a flat surface, shiny side down. Spread about 1/4 cup of the cooled cauliflower rice onto the nori, leaving a 1-inch border along the top edge.

Step 8

Arrange a few strips of salmon, cucumber, carrot, and avocado on top of the cauliflower rice. Sprinkle with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.

Step 9

Carefully roll the nori sheet into a cone, starting at one corner, tucking in the filling as you roll. Use a bit of water to seal the edge.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 11

Serve immediately with additional coconut aminos for dipping, if desired.
