Ingredients

• 6 ounces Sashimi-grade yellowtail (Hamachi)
• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 1 medium Avocado
• 0.5 large Cucumber
• 2 sheets Nori (seaweed sheets)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 0.5 teaspoons Rice vinegar (optional, Paleo-compliant brand)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste (optional, Paleo-compliant)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower rice by microwaving it for 2-3 minutes or lightly steaming, then let it cool completely. For extra flavor (optional), mix the cauliflower rice with a tiny splash of Paleo-compliant rice vinegar.

Step 2

Slice the yellowtail into thin, sashimi-style pieces, roughly 2-3 inches in length.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Peel the cucumber, then cut it into thin, julienned strips.

Step 5

Lay a sheet of nori on a flat surface or bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side down.

Step 6

Spread a thin, even layer of the cooled cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge uncovered to help seal the roll later.

Step 7

Place cucumber, avocado, and yellowtail pieces in a straight line across the center of the cauliflower rice.

Step 8

Carefully begin rolling the nori from the edge closest to you, using the bamboo mat (if available) to help secure a tight roll. Slightly dampen the uncovered edge of the nori with water to seal the roll.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into even pieces (about 1 inch thick). Clean the knife between cuts for clean edges.

Step 10

Serve immediately with coconut aminos for dipping, optional wasabi paste for extra heat, and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
