Ingredients

  • 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
  • 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. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together sriracha, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, and sesame oil to prepare the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Cut the salmon into cubes or keep fillets whole. Place the salmon in a bowl and coat with half of the marinade. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Reserve the remaining marinade.
  3. Step 3: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and crispy.
  4. Step 4: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Sear the salmon for 2-3 minutes per side if cubed, or 4-5 minutes per side for fillets, until caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Pour the reserved marinade over the salmon in the skillet and let it bubble for 1-2 minutes, allowing it to thicken into a glaze.
  6. Step 6: Divide the cooked jasmine rice into serving bowls. Top with roasted cauliflower and the glazed salmon.
  7. Step 7: Garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

  • For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or more sriracha to the marinade.
  • Swap cauliflower with broccoli or snap peas for a different vegetable option.
  • Use brown rice or quinoa as a substitute for jasmine rice for added fiber.
  • To keep salmon moist, avoid overcooking and sear quickly over medium-high heat.

Storage

Store leftover salmon bowls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. For best texture, reheat vegetables separately if possible.

Notes

  • Marinate the salmon for longer (up to 30 minutes) if you prefer more intense flavor.
  • Substitute cauliflower with broccoli or Brussels sprouts for different roasted vegetable options.
  • Use brown rice or cauliflower rice as a low-carb alternative.
  • Make sure not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
  • Adjust the sriracha quantity to control the spiciness according to your preference.
