Description
Delicious Keto Sushi Rolls made with cucumber, salmon, and avocado, perfect for a low-carb diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large cucumbers
- 8 ounces fresh sushi-grade salmon, thinly sliced
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon wasabi paste (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. If using fresh cauliflower, pulse florets in a food processor until they resemble rice. If using frozen, microwave according to package instructions until heated through. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a bowl, mix the cauliflower rice with rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon to create a hollow center. You can use a vegetable peeler to thinly slice the cucumber if you prefer.
- Lay a cucumber half on a clean surface or sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of the cauliflower rice mixture over the cucumber, leaving about an inch at the top.
- Arrange a few slices of salmon and avocado on top of the cauliflower rice.
- Starting from the bottom, carefully roll the cucumber over the filling, pressing gently to keep it tight. Continue rolling until you reach the end, sealing the edge with a little water if needed.
- Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber halves and filling.
- Once all rolls are made, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the rolls and serve with soy sauce or tamari and wasabi on the side.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the salmon in a mixture of soy sauce and sesame oil for 15 minutes before assembling the rolls.
- You can add other fillings such as cream cheese, sliced bell peppers, or radishes for extra crunch and flavor.
