Paleo Spicy Salmon Sushi Bowls
- 5 ounces, weight Salmon Fillet
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Sesame Oil, Divided
- Salt And Pepper
- 1 cup Cauliflower, Cut Into Bite-sized Pieces
- 1/2 Large Cucumber
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Aminos
- 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha, Or To Taste, Plus More For Garnish (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoons Rice Vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoons Fresh Ginger, Minced
- 1/4 teaspoons Honey
- 1/2 Sheet Nori, Sliced
- 2 Tablespoons Green Onions, Minced
- 1/2 Small Avocado, Sliced
- Sesame Seeds, For Garnish
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with tinfoil.
- Lightly rub the tinfoil with some sesame oil.
- Pat the salmon fillet dry and place it, skin-side down, onto the baking pan.
- Drizzle 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil on top of the fillet and rub it into the salmon with your fingers or a pastry brush.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake the fish until it flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes (see note).
- While the salmon bakes, place the cauliflower into a small food processor (mine is 3 cups) and process until fine and rice-like.
- Heat the remaining 3/4 teaspoon sesame oil in a small pan on medium/high heat.
- Cook the cauliflower rice, uncovered, until golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally, about 57 minutes.
- While the cauliflower cooks, spiralize the cucumber using the 3mm blade.
- Squeeze out as much excess moisture as you can and then place the noodles between two layers of paper towel.
- Lightly continue squeezing until the cucumber is as dry as possible.
- Place in a medium bowl.
- In a small container with a lid, add coconut aminos, Sriracha, rice vinegar, ginger, honey and remaining 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil.
- Hold the lid on tightly, and shake until well combined.
- Pour onto the cucumber noodles and toss until evenly coated.
- Add the cooked cauliflower rice, sliced nori and green onions into the bowl and toss until evenly coated in the dressing.
- Place the sliced avocado on top, followed by the salmon and garnish with sesame seeds.
- Devour.
- Notes: 1.
- A good rule of thumb is 46 minutes per 1/2 inch of salmon, depending on how well-done you like it.
- 2.
- Because cucumber is so moist, you want to eat this right away, so it doesnt get soggy.
