Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 4 Nori sheets
• 0.5 pound Salmon fillet
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi powder (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until it resembles rice-sized grains.

Step 2

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes until tender. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Once cooled, stir in the rice vinegar to the cauliflower rice to give it a sushi rice-like flavor.

Step 4

Slice the salmon fillet into thin strips. If preferred, you can sear the slices lightly in a pan for a few seconds on each side if you don't want to eat it raw.

Step 5

Cut the cucumber into thin julienne strips and the avocado into thin slices.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 8

Place a few strips of salmon, cucumber, and two avocado slices in a line about 1 inch from the bottom edge of the nori.

Step 9

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Moisten the top edge of the nori with water to seal the roll.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 11

Use a sharp knife dipped in water to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 12

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rolls, and serve the rolls with coconut aminos and, if desired, a small amount of wasabi.
