Ingredients
1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1.5-inch cubes
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 small head of cauliflower, cut into florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups cooked jasmine or short-grain rice
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon sriracha
1 teaspoon honey
0.5 teaspoon soy sauce
Splash of water to thin
Chopped green onions or chives
Fresh cilantro
Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Add salmon cubes and toss to coat. Let marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread cauliflower on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roast 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high. Add oil, then salmon (shake off excess marinade). Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through. Cook in batches if needed.
4. Mix mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), sriracha, honey, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Thin with water if needed.
5. Divide rice into bowls. Top with roasted cauliflower and salmon. Drizzle with sauce and garnish with green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
Notes
Use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture.
Adjust the level of sriracha to match your spice preference.
Cook the salmon in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure proper searing.
