Spicy Salmon Sushi Roll with Cauliflower Rice
This sushi roll creation came about with what I already had in my pantry. So yeah I just happened to have nori sheets, smoked salmon, sesame seeds and everything else for this recipe. I mean, you can really tell I'm a foodie with these random ingredients that I have. What I can say, I love to experiment food and see what I can really change up in my everyday meal with everyday ingredients I can just whip up in my kitchen.
