You guys! 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. Also, I hate running to the grocery stores just to grab a bunch of items to make one dish and quite frankly I don’t plan my meals like that. I like to ask my body what I’m craving and then I look up what I can whip up that’s healthy and go about my business.
People who know me, I LOVE smoked salmon on just about everything, such as instant noodles, toasts, bagels, and so on. But I have never had spicy salmon sushi roll with cauliflower rice. So on this particular day, my eyes were bigger than my stomach after a rigorous workout and I was super hungry. I was kind of all over the place when hangry-ness was settling in but it turned out surprising really good. I made 2 rolls which I didn’t finish, I was so full and satisfied. The only thing though is that I’m going to need sushi grade knives to cut my rolls, that was my only let down. BUT it was delicious when it went down my belly, that was the only thing that mattered!
So if you would like to dive in to have a taste, below is the recipe.
