Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 4 salmon fillets (or 1 pound salmon, cut into cubes)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Vegetables and Grains:
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Craft a vibrant marinade by whisking sriracha, honey, soy sauce, garlic, lime juice, and sesame oil in a compact mixing vessel until thoroughly combined.
- Transform salmon into cubes or maintain whole fillets, then submerge in marinade, ensuring complete coating. Allow 15 minutes for flavor absorption, preserving half the liquid for subsequent glazing.
- Activate oven to 400°F. Disperse cauliflower florets across baking sheet, massaging with olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until edges caramelize and texture turns crisp.
- Ignite skillet over medium-high heat, introducing minimal oil. Sear salmon 2-3 minutes per side for cubes, 4-5 minutes for fillets, developing golden caramelization. Cascade reserved marinade, permitting liquid to reduce and create glossy, intense glaze.
- Construct serving bowls by layering fluffy rice as foundation. Artfully arrange roasted cauliflower and glistening salmon. Elevate presentation by scattering green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds across surface. Serve immediately while temperatures remain optimal.
Notes
- Customize the heat level by adjusting sriracha quantity, ensuring a perfect balance for different spice tolerances.
- Swap salmon with tofu or chicken for alternative protein options, making the recipe versatile for various dietary preferences.
- Use parchment paper when roasting cauliflower to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup with minimal oil.
- Marinate salmon briefly to maintain delicate texture, preventing over-absorption of marinade that could make fish tough.
