Ingredients

• 200 grams fresh salmon fillet, skinless
• 2 large cucumbers
• 1 avocado
• 2 nori sheets
• 1 carrot
• 1 teaspoon wasabi
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or tamari (for paleo-friendly alternative to soy sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Use a spiralizer or vegetable peeler to create long, thin cucumber ribbons, mimicking the texture of sushi rice.

Step 2

Cut the salmon fillet into long, thin strips approximately 1 cm wide.

Step 3

Peel and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin strips.

Step 4

Peel the carrot and cut it into julienne strips to add a crunchy texture to the rolls.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Arrange a layer of cucumber ribbons across the nori sheet evenly, covering the entire surface.

Step 7

At one end of the nori sheet, place a line of salmon strips, avocado slices, and carrot sticks. Be sure to leave a small margin at the end without filling, to help seal the roll.

Step 8

Using the bamboo mat, roll the nori sheet tightly around the fillings, applying gentle pressure to keep it even and compact.

Step 9

Dampen the edge of the nori with a little water to help seal the roll.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and the remaining ingredients.

Step 11

Use a sharp knife to cut the rolls into bite-sized rounds, wiping the blade with a damp cloth between cuts to maintain clean lines.

Step 12

Serve the rolls with a small dish of wasabi, ginger, and coconut aminos for dipping.
