Keto Spicy Salmon Sushi RollsPin itFollow us 148.4k

Sushi rolls are one of my favorite foods, but the store bought variety are not only carb-heavy, they can often be laden with salt and preservatives.

This version features a base of tasty cauliflower rice which is lightly steamed and then flavoured. Cream cheese is used here to help bind the cauliflower to make it more manageable, and the creaminess adds to the overall flavour.

I’ve used a simple, spicy salmon mix as the main topping in these, but you could easily substitute the salmon for any most other canned or smoked fish, all should work well.

The fillings make these rolls delicious on their own, but you could always serve them with the more traditional accompaniments of pickled ginger, wasabi, and a dash of coconut aminos, a keto-friendly alternative to soy sauce.

This recipe makes 4 appetizers (1/2 roll per serving), or 2 regular servings (1 roll per serving). You can use either filleted and flaked, or canned and drained salmon, or smoked salmon.

Very nice. Good alternate to real sushi rolls as the rice vinegar, tamari(what I used) and nori replicate the taste pretty well. Don't feel the need to have some true sushi for that sushi rice texture.

Thank you Helen, I'm glad you liked our recipe!

Hi - Have made my sriracha sauce and am now ready to go. Can you tell me how long these will keep in the fridge and are you able to freeze them at all. Thanks.

Hi Amanda, these are best fresh but will keep for up to 3 days.

If you lay a piece of plastic wrap on top of your mat, you'll be able to roll your sushi roll tighter.
