Sriracha Honey Salmon Bowls (Print View)

Enjoy tender salmon glazed with sriracha honey, roasted cauliflower, fresh herbs, and rice for a flavorful meal.

# Components:

→ Salmon Marinade

01 - 4 salmon fillets (or 1 pound, cut into cubes)
02 - 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
03 - 2 tablespoons honey
04 - 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
05 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 1 tablespoon lime juice
07 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil

→ Bowl Components

08 - 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
09 - 2 cups cauliflower florets
10 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
11 - Salt, to taste
12 - Black pepper, to taste
13 - 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
14 - 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
15 - 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

# Directions:

01 - In a small bowl, whisk together sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, and sesame oil.
02 - Cut the salmon into cubes or leave fillets whole. Place them in a bowl and evenly coat with half of the prepared marinade. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes. Reserve the remaining marinade for later use.
03 - Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). In a separate bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread the seasoned florets in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
04 - Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of oil. Sear the salmon pieces for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or if using fillets, sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until nicely caramelized. Pour the reserved marinade over the salmon in the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to thicken into a glaze.
05 - Divide the cooked jasmine rice among serving bowls. Top each bowl with the roasted cauliflower and the glazed salmon. Garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

03 -
  • The key to perfect caramelization is patting your salmon completely dry before marinating. Any excess moisture will cause the fish to steam rather than sear, preventing that beautiful glaze from forming.
  • I also recommend using a heavy bottomed pan like cast iron that retains heat well for the best crust on your salmon.
  • Finally, don't overcrowd your cauliflower on the roasting pan—giving each piece space ensures they'll roast rather than steam, resulting in those deliciously crispy edges that contrast beautifully with the tender salmon.
