  • Use the grater attachment to process all of the cauliflower into rice-like consistency.
  • Toast the cauliflower over medium-high heat, until it’s steamed out most of the water.
  • Mix in the tablespoon of soy sauce and the unseasoned rice vinegar.

  • Mix the canned salmon with the mayonnaise; set aside.
  • Divide the rice mixture into sections equal to serving sizes. Place one of the sections onto a sheet of plastic wrap and create a well in the middle.

  • Use the plastic wrap to form a ball of cauliflower rice around the salmon. One the salmon is fully enclosed, create a triangle shape.

  • Unwrap the rice and adjust the shape as needed. It’s a little bit harder to work with than regular rice, so just be patient and do your best.

  • Cut the sheets of nori into thirds. Place the rice into the center of a strip of nori.

  • Fold the strips over the rice and wrap around the bottom, almost like a jacket.

  • Optionally you can garnish the top with a little flaked salmon to show what’s inside. Repeat with the other sections to complete the number of servings.
