It's been a while since I made any sort of sushi (like my low carb Maki). These hand rolls are made with soft and flakey cooked salmon, crunchy cucumber, ripe avocado, and zingy green onions.
They're all wrapped in nori sheets, which you can often find in the Asian section of big grocery stores. They're typically just made from pressed seaweed, and they're zero carb! Nori is a great source of nutrients like calcium (10 times more than milk!), copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, plus vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K, as well as niacin, folic acid and taurine! What a superfood!

How to Make Low Carb Salmon Sushi Hand Rolls
Season two salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then roast in the oven for 10 minutes or until cooked to your liking.
Let cool, then flake the salmon with a fork (or two!). Drain any excess liquid from the salmon.
Assemble all the hand roll ingredients together: nori sheets, salmon, English cucumber, green onions, and avocado. You'll also need a small bowl of water.
Spoon a quarter of the salmon onto one end of a sheet of nori. Add a few cucumber sticks, two slices of avocado, and a sprinkling of onions.
Starting from the filled end, roll it up. Use a little water to seal the end of the nori so that it sticks to itself. Cut in half.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 8 hand rolls in total.
This recipe makes a lovely appetizer for 4 to share, or lunch for 2 people.
