AIP Nori Salmon Wraps Recipe

If you’re on autoimmune protocol and missing sushi, you’re in luck. This AIP nori salmon wraps recipe is just what you’re looking for.

What is Nori?

Let’s get the trivia question out of the way first. In case you aren’t familiar with it, nori is seaweed.

If it’s not part of your regular cuisine, I urge you to give it a try. Its savory umami flavor pairs perfectly with fish. It also makes a handy edible wrapper for all kinds of fillings.

It’s a good swap for bread and it can be toasted to make chips. Both are very handy uses for AIP!

How to Use Nori

Nori comes in thin sheets. It’s both crisp and brittle, which can make working with it a challenge.

For this salmon wraps recipe, you need to get the nori soft and pliable before rolling. To achieve this, wet your finger and spread droplets all around the nori sheets.

You’ve got the right feel when the sheets soften and yield, taking on the shape of the plate or bowl you have them sitting on.

How I Made This AIP-Friendly

You probably think of sushi as a relatively innocuous food, but it can cause problems for autoimmune protocol.

I modified this salmon wraps recipe to keep your special diet in mind.

First, these wraps do not include rice. If you’d like, you can use cauliflower rice instead, but I find the salmon, carrot, and green onion to be more than adequate for stuffing.

Next, I do not include cream cheese, as dairy is not allowed on AIP. Soy sauce is another item that did not make the cut, however, the salty smoked salmon is so good you won’t even miss it!

Although bell pepper is less common in sushi, that’s another food I left out because it is a nightshade.

More AIP Fish Recipes

If you’re signing up for nori salmon wraps, my guess is that you don’t shy away from seafood. That’s wonderful! You’ll find many delicious options to try while you’re following autoimmune protocol.

In fact, I believe you’ll like them so much you’ll eat them even after you’ve finished the elimination phase!

In the meantime, however, check out this page that’s bursting with flavorful AIP fish recipes.

You’ll find everything from AIP bacon-wrapped salmon to Mediterranean tuna salad to cod and sweet potato hash.

So many delightful choices, and there’s nothing fishy about them!
