How to Make Sriracha Honey Salmon Bowls
Ingredients:
- 4 filets Salmon (Fresh filets ensure a flaky texture.)
- 3 tablespoons Sriracha Sauce (Adds heat and spiciness.)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (Sweetens the glaze.)
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (Provides umami flavor.)
- 2 cloves Minced Garlic (Enhances flavor depth.)
- 2 tablespoons Lime Juice (Adds acidity.)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil (Introduces a nutty aroma.)
- 4 cups Cauliflower Florets (Used for roasting.)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (For roasting.)

- 2 cups Rice (Serves as the base.)
- ¼ cup Chopped Green Onions (Adds a fresh crunch.)

- 2 tablespoons Sesame Seeds (Provides a nutty finish.)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine Sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, and sesame oil. This will be the marinade for the salmon.
- Place the salmon filets in the marinade for about 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
- Roast the cauliflower in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the edges start to brown and they’re tender.
- While the cauliflower roasts, cook the rice according to package instructions.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the marinated salmon filets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown.
- To serve, place a scoop of rice in a bowl, top it with roasted cauliflower and a salmon filet. Sprinkle with chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds.
