In the paleo diet – paleo sushi, one of the most annoying things about the lack of bread is not having a quick vehicle to deliver and a convenient a bunch of tasty foods into our mouth. For paleo bread alternatives there are many recipes, and to make they require time and effort and can often be a little high in (rich starches) carbohydrate- or nuts. Used to wrap a sushi roll this is where the seaweed-based nori sheets, come in very handy. In fact, on a Japanese restaurant menu, a triangularly shaped sushi roll is actually called a ‘hand roll’.

Salmon & Avocado Nori Rolls

Avocado & Salmon Nori Rolls
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon black or white sesame seeds
  • 3 square nori sheets, seaweed wrappers
  • ½ avocado, sliced into strips
  • 150-180 g / 5-6 oz cooked salmon or tinned salmon
  • ⅓ red pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ½ small cucumber, sliced into strips
  • 1 spring onion/scallion, cut into 2-3" pieces
  • Coconut aminos for dipping, optional
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce or Sriracha sauce

Instructions

  1. On a flat surface, place the nori sheet, shiny side down, such as a cutting board. To see which way it needs to be rolled look at the fibers of the wrapper.
  2. To the right or left third of the nori sheet add a third of the salmon and top with two strips of cucumber, pepper, and avocado. Add some green onion and a drizzle of hot sauce and mayonnaise. At the later stage, you can sprinkle with sesame seeds, once the rolls are cut.
  3. The side you are rolling towards lightly wet the top part of the nori sheet, just 1-2 cm of the wrapper. Pick up the opposite outer edge of the roll and using your fingers start wrapping it around the ingredients, to keep it nice and tight. But don't worry if your roll doesn't look perfect this can take a bit of practice. Until the top edge of the wrapper overlaps the roll, roll it and press it tightly to stick. With the seam facing down place the roll on the cutting board and then cut into bite-size pieces.
  4. Serve right away with some extra mayo or coconut aminos for dipping, or pack in a container to keep as a snack or take for lunch in the fridge.
