Description
Keto Sushi Rolls: Discover Cucumber-Wrapped Salmon Delights!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large cucumbers
- 8 ounces 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
- Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. If using fresh cauliflower, chop it into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they achieve a rice-like texture. For frozen cauliflower, heat it in the microwave according to the package instructions and let it cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice with rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a sprinkle of salt. Mix well and set aside.
- Slice the cucumbers in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the seeds to create a hollow space. Alternatively, you can peel the cucumbers into thin strips if you prefer a different texture.
- Take one cucumber half and place it on a clean surface or sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of the seasoned cauliflower rice over the cucumber, leaving about an inch at the top edge.
- Layer slices of salmon and avocado over the cauliflower rice, arranging them evenly.
- Starting from the bottom, gently roll the cucumber over the filling, applying light pressure to keep it compact. Continue rolling until you reach the end, sealing the edge with a bit of water if necessary.
- Repeat the rolling process with the remaining cucumber halves and filling ingredients.
- Once all the rolls are prepared, use a sharp knife to cut each roll into bite-sized pieces. To ensure clean cuts, wipe the knife with a damp cloth between each slice.
- Finish by sprinkling sesame seeds over the top of the rolls and serve them alongside soy sauce or tamari and wasabi if desired.
Notes
- For a flavor boost, consider marinating the salmon in a blend of soy sauce and sesame oil for about 15 minutes before assembling the rolls.
- Feel free to experiment with additional fillings like cream cheese, sliced bell peppers, or crunchy radishes for added texture and taste.
