Description
A delicious twist on sushi rolls using avocado and smoked salmon, perfect for a keto diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large cucumber
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 8 ounces smoked salmon
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a keto-friendly option)
- 1 teaspoon wasabi (optional)
- Fresh dill or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by preparing the cucumber. Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin strips. You should aim for about 8-10 strips.
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with lemon juice until smooth. This will be your spread for the rolls.
- Lay one cucumber strip on a clean surface or cutting board. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the cucumber.
- Place a slice of avocado and a piece of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese.
- Carefully roll the cucumber strip tightly around the filling, starting from one end and rolling to the other. Repeat this process with the remaining cucumber strips and filling ingredients.
- Once all rolls are made, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for added flavor and crunch.
- If using, mix soy sauce and wasabi in a small bowl for dipping. Serve the sushi rolls with the dipping sauce and garnish with fresh dill or chives if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding thinly sliced radishes or bell peppers to the filling for extra crunch and color.
- If you prefer a spicy kick, mix some sriracha into the cream cheese before spreading it on the cucumber.
