When I was younger, I tried a free sample of supermarket sushi and HATED it. Years later, I finally gave sushi another try and loved it since. I, of course, had to start slow and avoid rolls that were too “fishy.” I’ve become more adventurous with my sushi intake which led me to try to take sushi in another direction. The Alaska Roll remains one of my favorites, including some of my favorite foods. I’d love to one day learn to make sushi but for now, a deconstructed version will do the trick!

Not only is this recipe delicious and different, it can maybe even put you in a better mood. This meal is jam packed with omega 3s and tons of other nutrients.
