Ingredients
1 lb salmon fillet, cut into cubes
3 tablespoons sriracha
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
3 cups cauliflower florets
2 cups cooked white rice
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or scallions (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cauliflower with sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes until golden and crispy on the edges.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together sriracha, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger to make the glaze.
3. Pat salmon dry and cut into cubes. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of sesame oil.
4. Add salmon cubes to the hot pan and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until cooked through and slightly crispy.
5. Pour glaze over the salmon and cook for 1–2 more minutes, stirring gently to coat and reduce the sauce.
6. Assemble bowls with a scoop of rice, roasted cauliflower, and glazed salmon.
7. Drizzle extra sauce from the pan over the top.
8. Garnish with chopped cilantro or scallions if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Pat salmon completely dry before searing to get the perfect golden crust.
Taste the glaze before adding it to the pan — adjust spice or sweetness to your preference.
Use parchment paper for roasting cauliflower to get even browning and easy cleanup.
