Ingredients

• 200 grams Salmon (sushi-grade)
• 6 pieces Nori sheets
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Carrot
• 2 stalks Green onion (scallion)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1 teaspoon Optional wasabi (Paleo-compliant)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the filling: Slice the sushi-grade salmon into thin strips about 0.5 cm thick and 10 cm long. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep cool.

Step 2

Peel the cucumber and carrot, then slice them into thin matchsticks approximately the same length as the salmon strips. Chop the green onions into thin strips as well.

Step 3

Make the avocado spread: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Mix in the lemon juice, sea salt, and wasabi (if using), to taste. Adjust for seasoning.

Step 4

Set up your rolling station: Place the nori sheets, a small bowl of water for sealing the edges, the prepared salmon, vegetables, and avocado spread on a clean work surface.

Step 5

Assemble the temaki rolls: Take one nori sheet and place it shiny side down on your work surface. Spread about 1 teaspoon of avocado mixture diagonally across the center of the sheet.

Step 6

Place a couple of salmon strips, cucumber, carrot, and green onion over the avocado spread, keeping the layers neat and compact.

Step 7

To roll: Fold one corner of the nori sheet over the filling, then gently wrap the remaining nori around to create a conical shape. Use a dab of water on the outer edge of the nori to seal the temaki.

Step 8

Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets and fillings until all the rolls are assembled.

Step 9

Serve immediately with coconut aminos on the side for dipping. Enjoy your Paleo-friendly temaki salmon!
