Keto Sushi Bowl with Salmon, Avocado, and Almonds
If you enjoy sushi bowls and are looking for ways to explore low-carb Japanese cuisine, this keto sushi bowl with salmon, avocado, and almonds is a delicious option to try.

The origins of this keto sushi bowl lie in ancient Japan, where sushi evolved from a method of preserving fish called nare-zushi. Over centuries, sushi took on various forms, including oshizushi (pressed sushi) and nigirizushi (hand-pressed sushi), before eventually evolving into the modern-day maki rolls and sushi bowls that we know and love. Fast forward to the present day, with the rise of low-carb diets such as keto, food enthusiasts began experimenting with new ways to enjoy sushi while adhering to dietary restrictions. Thus, the keto sushi bowl was born, offering a satisfying compromise that combines the flavors of traditional sushi with a keto-friendly approach.
