Ingredients

Protein

  • Fresh salmon fillet (wild-caught recommended)

Base

  • Cauliflower rice (fresh grated or pulsed florets)

Vegetables and Toppings

  • Avocado (diced)
  • Cucumber (thinly sliced)
  • Shredded carrots
  • Optional: seaweed salad, pickled ginger, pickled radishes, green onions, fresh cilantro

Dressings and Sauces

  • Rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar (for dressing cauliflower rice)
  • Soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free soy sauce alternative)
  • Wasabi or spicy mayo (optional for heat)
  • Sriracha or chili flakes (optional variation)
  • Sesame seeds (lightly toasted)

Additional Optional Toppings

  • Crushed macadamia nuts or almonds (for nutty crunch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower Rice: Grate or pulse fresh cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. Sauté lightly in a pan with a splash of oil and a bit of rice vinegar to mimic the classic sushi rice tanginess, then set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Cook the Salmon: Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Pan-sear in a little oil over medium-high heat until cooked through but still tender inside, about 3 to 4 minutes per side depending on thickness. Once done, let it rest before flaking or slicing.
  3. Prepare the Veggies: Thinly slice cucumbers and shred carrots. Dice avocado just before serving to keep it fresh. These colorful veggies add crunch and creaminess in every bite.
  4. Assemble Your Bowl: Start with a generous base of the cauliflower rice, then artfully layer on the salmon, cucumbers, carrots, and avocado. Drizzle soy sauce or tamari on top, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and add a dollop of wasabi or spicy mayo if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t overcook the salmon to keep it tender and slightly pink inside.
  • Dry your cauliflower rice well to avoid a soggy bowl.
  • Add vinegar to the cauliflower rice just before serving to retain texture and flavor.
  • Lightly toast sesame seeds to enhance their nuttiness and aroma.
  • Store components separately to maintain freshness when meal prepping.
