Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets (or 1 lb salmon, cut into cubes)
  • 3 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Bowl

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce and Marinate Salmon: In a bowl, whisk together sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, and sesame oil. Coat the salmon fillets thoroughly with this marinade and let them sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Cook the Cauliflower: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through.
  3. Cook the Salmon: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated salmon fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and caramelized on the outside. Pour any remaining marinade into the skillet during cooking to glaze the salmon.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide cooked jasmine rice between four bowls. Top each bowl with roasted cauliflower and a salmon fillet. Garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, and a sprinkling of sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the bowls immediately while warm, optionally providing extra lime wedges or sriracha on the side for extra zest and heat.

Notes

  • Marinating salmon helps enhance the flavor but avoid marinating longer than 30 minutes to prevent the fish from becoming mushy.
  • Use low sodium soy sauce to control sodium content while maintaining flavor.
  • For a low-carb alternative, substitute jasmine rice with cauliflower rice.
  • You can roast salmon in the oven at 400°F (204°C) for 12-15 minutes if preferred instead of pan-searing.
  • Sriracha levels can be adjusted to taste—use less for milder heat or more for a spicier kick.
