Instructions

Prepare the Marinade
- In a small bowl, whisk together sriracha, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, and sesame oil.
-
Marinate the Salmon
- Cut the salmon into cubes or leave fillets whole. Place in a bowl and coat with half the marinade. Let sit for 15 minutes. Reserve the remaining marinade.
-
Roast the Cauliflower
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.
-
Cook the Salmon
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Sear the salmon for 2-3 minutes per side (or 4-5 minutes per side for fillets) until caramelized.
- Pour the reserved marinade over the salmon and let it bubble for 1-2 minutes, creating a thick glaze.
-
Assemble the Bowls
