Directions

• get your roll on!
• Slice the avocado, green onion, and jalapeno into strips, removing the veins and seeds from the jalapeno. Craving heat? Leave them in for a super spicy roll. If youre terrified of spice, grab a green bell pepper or a few stalks of blanched asparagus instead!
• Next slice your fish into strips and, if youre using cream cheese, simply roll a chilled piece into a log with your fingers and set aside with your vegetables.
• To slice the cucumber into wrap form, check out the video above. Its a bit difficult to explain in text but the video will give you the perfect visual of the technique. I slice mine a little on the thicker side to make things easier.
• Next unroll the cucumber and layer your fish and/or veggies inside as if you were making a standard roll. [see photo below]
• Simply line everything up at one end of your cucumber wrapper and roll it up!
• To form into discs, grab a sharp chefs knife and hold the roll taught as you slice. Inserting a few toothpicks into the roll before can help keep the roll together as youre cutting, but it can absolutely be done without them -- up to you!
• All thats left to do is arrange them on plate, top with a sprinkling of sesame seeds, chia seeds, and chopped green onion.
• Now drizzle with your favorite sauce and dig in!
