Ingredients

• 8 ounces Wild-caught salmon, skinless
• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 Cucumber
• 4 Nori sheets
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a non-stick skillet and cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it becomes tender. Remove from heat and stir in the rice vinegar and salt. Allow it to cool.

Step 3

While the cauliflower rice cools, slice the salmon into long, thin strips.

Step 4

Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips. Do the same with the cucumber, removing seeds if necessary.

Step 5

Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of the cooled cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border on the top edge.

Step 6

Lay strips of salmon, avocado, and cucumber in a line across the middle of the cauliflower rice.

Step 7

Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori sheet tightly over the filling. Seal the edge with a little water.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Step 9

Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp, wet knife, cleaning the blade between cuts.

Step 10

Serve the sushi rolls with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a side of coconut aminos for dipping.
