Ingredients

• 400 grams Salmon fillet (sushi-grade), skinless
• 6 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Chives
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by carefully slicing the salmon fillet into long, thin strips, approximately 0.5 cm thick, and set it aside.

Step 2

Peel the avocado, remove the pit, and place the flesh into a small mixing bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth. Add lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until combined.

Step 3

Julienne the cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper into matchstick-size pieces. Set them aside for assembly.

Step 4

Lay a nori sheet onto a flat surface or sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of the mashed avocado mixture across the bottom third of the nori sheet.

Step 5

Place a few strips of salmon, some julienned cucumber, carrot, and bell pepper evenly over the avocado spread. Sprinkle some chopped chives over the top.

Step 6

Carefully roll the nori sheet tightly from the bottom, using gentle pressure to keep the roll firm and intact. Wet the edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once assembled, use a sharp knife to gently slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, around 2 cm thick.

Step 9

Serve the Maki Salmon with coconut aminos as a natural Whole30-compliant soy sauce alternative. Enjoy immediately.
