Enjoy sushi even during Passover with this Kosher for Pesach sushi recipe that swaps traditional rice with flavorful alternatives like riced cauliflower or mashed potatoes. Wrapped in nori and filled with fresh veggies and protein, it’s a fun, chametz-free twist on a Japanese favorite—perfect for Seder week or a light lunch.

Ingredients

• For the "Rice" Base (choose one):
• 2 cups cauliflower rice, lightly steamed and squeezed dry
• OR
• 2 cups mashed potatoes (seasoned lightly with salt)
• Fillings (choose a mix):
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1 cucumber, julienned
• 1 avocado, sliced
• Cooked salmon, tuna, or matzo meal-crusted fish
• Optional: thinly sliced egg omelet
• Wrap & Finish:
• 4–6 sheets nori (seaweed)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Salt, pepper to taste
• Optional: horseradish, wasabi, or kosher lox

Directions

1. If using cauliflower, steam and squeeze out moisture. If using mashed potatoes, let cool completely. Season lightly with salt and lemon juice.
2. Place a nori sheet on a sushi mat (shiny side down). Spread a thin, even layer of your base over the nori, leaving a 1-inch edge at the top.
3. Arrange your fillings (fish, veggies, egg) horizontally across the center.
4. Using a bamboo mat, roll tightly from the bottom up. Wet the top edge with water to seal.
5. Slice with a sharp, wet knife into 6–8 pieces. Serve chilled with horseradish, lemon, or kosher-for-Passover dipping sauce.
