Ingredients
1 1/2 lb salmon fillets, skinless, cut into cubes
3 tbsp sriracha
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tbsp lime juice
1 large head cauliflower (about 6 cups) florets
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cups cooked jasmine rice
1/4 cup chopped cilantro or sliced green onions
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cauliflower with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a lined sheet; roast 20–25 minutes, flipping once, until golden.
2. Whisk sriracha, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and lime juice in a bowl to make the glaze; adjust heat/sweetness to taste.
3. Pat salmon cubes very dry. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high.
4. Sear salmon 1–2 minutes per side until just golden.
5. Pour glaze into the pan; toss and cook 2–3 minutes until salmon is cooked through and glaze turns sticky.
6. Build bowls with rice, roasted cauliflower, and glazed salmon. Spoon over extra sauce; garnish with cilantro or green onion.
Notes
Pat salmon very dry for the best sear and a glaze that clings.
Keep heat medium-high to caramelize without burning; add glaze only after searing.
For gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos in place of soy sauce.
