For the 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
For the 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
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together sriracha, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, and sesame oil until fully combined and smooth.
- Marinate the Salmon: Cut the salmon into cubes or leave fillets whole. Place the salmon in a bowl and coat it evenly with half of the prepared marinade. Let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors. Keep the remaining marinade for later use.
- Roast the Cauliflower: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil to prevent sticking. Sear the salmon cubes or fillets for 2-3 minutes per side (or 4-5 minutes per side for fillets) until they develop a caramelized crust and are cooked through.
- Glaze the Salmon: Pour the reserved marinade over the cooked salmon in the skillet and let it bubble for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and glaze the salmon beautifully.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked jasmine rice evenly into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the roasted cauliflower and glazed salmon pieces.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds over the bowls for an added burst of freshness and texture. Serve the bowls warm and enjoy your delicious meal!
Notes
- Marinating the salmon for longer (up to 30 minutes) will deepen the flavor but avoid marinating too long to prevent the fish from breaking down.
- Feel free to substitute cauliflower with broccoli or your favorite roasted vegetable if desired.
- Use low sodium soy sauce to control the salt content of the dish.
- For a spicier kick, add extra sriracha or red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Leftover bowls keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days and taste great reheated.
