Ingredients

• 200 grams Salmon fillet, sushi-grade
• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 whole Avocado
• 0.5 large Cucumber
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice grains.

Step 2

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos and 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt, mixing well.

Step 3

Slice the sushi-grade salmon fillet into thin strips, approximately 1 cm wide. Ensure even, clean cuts for easy rolling.

Step 4

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin strips.

Step 5

Peel and julienne the carrot into thin matchsticks.

Step 6

Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds, then cut into long, thin strips.

Step 7

Lay a nori sheet on a clean, flat surface such as a bamboo sushi mat or clean tea towel, shiny side down.

Step 8

Spread a quarter of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about an inch of nori uncovered at the top edge.

Step 9

Arrange a few strips of salmon, avocado, carrot, and cucumber in a line along the edge close to you on the cauliflower rice.

Step 10

Using the sushi mat or towel, carefully roll up the nori, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight, sealing with the uncovered strip of nori at the end.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create a total of four rolls.

Step 12

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 equal pieces.

Step 13

Serve the Paleo Maki Salmon rolls with a side of coconut aminos for dipping and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
