Ingredients
- 2 cups riced cauliflower (fresh or thawed from frozen)
- 2 tsp rice vinegar (unseasoned)
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 8 oz sashimi-grade salmon or cooked salmon, cubed
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 1/2 medium cucumber, diced
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp sriracha (no added sugar)
- 2 sheets nori, cut into thin strips
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 stalk green onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- 1
Heat a dry skillet over medium and toast the riced cauliflower for 4-5 minutes, stirring, until just tender and any excess moisture has cooked off. Remove from heat.
- 2
Stir the rice vinegar and sesame oil into the warm cauliflower rice, then let it cool slightly while you prep the toppings.
- 3
In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the sriracha to make the spicy mayo.
- 4
Divide the seasoned cauliflower rice between two bowls. Arrange the salmon, avocado, and cucumber on top in sections.
- 5
Drizzle each bowl with coconut aminos and the spicy mayo, then scatter the nori strips, sesame seeds, and green onion over the top. Serve immediately.
Tips & notes
- Use sashimi-grade salmon only if serving raw; otherwise substitute cooked salmon, canned tuna, or seared shrimp for a fully cooked bowl.
- Swap salmon for cooked shrimp or imitation-free crab alternatives, and add pickled ginger on the side for an extra sushi-bar touch (check for added sugar).
- Best assembled fresh. If meal-prepping, store the cauliflower rice, protein, and veggies separately and add avocado and spicy mayo just before eating.
