Ingredients

• 8 oz White fish filet (e.g., cod, halibut, or snapper), skinless
• 2 cups Cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tbsp Coconut aminos
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar (Whole30-compliant)
• 5 pieces Seaweed sheets (nori)
• 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 1 large Avocado, sliced
• 1 small Carrot, julienned
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the cauliflower rice: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender but not mushy.

Step 2

2. Season the cauliflower rice: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos, and salt. Let the cauliflower rice cool completely before assembling the sushi rolls.

Step 3

3. Cook the white fish: Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season the white fish filet with a drizzle of lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Let cool, then flake into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

4. Prepare the sushi filling: Arrange the julienned cucumber, sliced avocado, julienned carrot, and flaked white fish for easy assembly.

Step 5

5. Assemble the sushi rolls: Place a sheet of nori shiny side down on a clean, flat surface or sushi mat. Spread a thin, even layer of the cooled cauliflower rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 6

6. Add the filling: Place a small amount of white fish, cucumber, avocado, and carrot in a horizontal line across the center of the cauliflower rice.

Step 7

7. Roll the sushi: Using your hands or a sushi mat, gently but tightly roll the sushi away from you, pressing the edge of the nori to seal the roll. If needed, use a small amount of water to help seal the edges.

Step 8

8. Slice and serve: Use a sharp knife to slice the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using) and serve with the remaining coconut aminos for dipping.

Step 9

9. Enjoy your Whole30-compliant white fish sushi!
