Description

These no-rice sushi rolls are a fresh, keto-friendly twist on classic sushi, featuring creamy avocado, smoked salmon, crisp vegetables, and a tangy cream cheese spread, all wrapped in savory nori. Perfect for a low-carb lunch or snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ounces smoked salmon, sliced into strips
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced thin
  • 1 small cucumber, julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 4 nori sheets
  • Soy sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Set up your rolling station with a clean surface and a sharp knife.
  2. Arrange smoked salmon, sliced avocado, cucumber, red bell pepper, and cream cheese in bowls for easy access.
  3. Place one nori sheet shiny side down on a sushi mat or parchment paper.
  4. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over the lower third of the nori sheet.
  5. Layer cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, and smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese.
  6. Gently roll the nori sheet tightly, sealing the edge with a little water.
  7. Chill the roll seam-side down in the fridge for 10–15 minutes.
  8. Slice each roll into 6–8 pieces using a wet, sharp knife.
  9. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, or pickled ginger as desired.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper if you don’t have a sushi mat.
  • Chill the rolls before slicing for cleaner cuts.
  • Don’t overfill the rolls to prevent tearing.
