Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, and sesame oil until well combined to form a spicy-sweet marinade.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: Cut the salmon into cubes or keep the fillets whole as preferred. Place the salmon in a bowl and coat with half of the marinade mixture. Let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors while reserving the remaining marinade for later.
  3. Roast the Cauliflower: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until the florets are golden, crispy, and tender.
  4. Cook the Salmon: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Add the marinated salmon and sear it for 2-3 minutes per side if cubed, or 4-5 minutes per side for fillets, until the salmon is caramelized and cooked through.
  5. Glaze the Salmon: Pour the reserved marinade over the salmon in the skillet and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes. This will thicken the marinade into a sticky glaze that coats the salmon beautifully.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked jasmine rice evenly into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the roasted cauliflower and the glazed salmon pieces or fillets.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds over the bowls. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious Sriracha Honey Salmon Bowls!

Notes

  • Using low sodium soy sauce helps control the saltiness of the dish.
  • Make sure not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
  • You can substitute jasmine rice for brown rice or quinoa for a healthier twist.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha sauce based on your heat preference.
  • Leftover salmon and cauliflower make a great lunch the next day.
