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 well combined.
- Marinate the Salmon: Cut the salmon into cubes if desired or leave the fillets whole. Place the salmon in a bowl and coat with half of the prepared marinade. Let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors while reserving 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 they turn golden brown and are crispy on the edges.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil. Sear the salmon pieces or fillets for 2-3 minutes per side (or 4-5 minutes per side for whole fillets) until they become caramelized and cooked through.
- Glaze the Salmon: Pour the reserved marinade over the cooked salmon in the skillet. Let it bubble and thicken for 1-2 minutes to create a sticky, flavorful glaze that coats the salmon perfectly.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked jasmine rice into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the roasted cauliflower and the glazed salmon pieces.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing each bowl with chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve warm and enjoy your vibrant, flavorful salmon bowl!
