Ingredients
1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1.5-inch cubes
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 cups cauliflower florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional pinch of smoked paprika or cumin
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon lime juice
2 cups cooked jasmine rice
Chopped scallions or fresh parsley
Sesame seeds
Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Add the salmon cubes and gently toss to coat. Cover and marinate for 15–20 minutes in the fridge.
2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cauliflower with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional spices. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
3. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once done, fluff with a fork and keep covered.
4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, then sear marinated salmon cubes for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized. Work in batches if needed.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, and lime juice. Microwave for 10 seconds for a smoother texture.
6. Scoop rice into serving bowls. Add roasted cauliflower and salmon. Drizzle with sauce. Garnish with scallions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges if desired.
Notes
Patting the salmon dry before marinating ensures a perfect sear.
Roast cauliflower at high heat for the best crispy texture.
Warm the sauce slightly for easier drizzling and better flavor blending.
