Ingredients

• 2 (4oz) salmon fillets
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 0.5 tsp turmeric powder
• 0.5 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp ground coriander
• 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 cups cauliflower florets (riced)
• 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 lemon wedge (for serving)

Instructions

1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create a spice paste.
3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub the spice paste evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
4. Place the seasoned salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
5. While the salmon bakes, prepare the cauliflower rice. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the riced cauliflower and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
6. Divide the cauliflower rice between two plates. Top each with a cooked salmon fillet.
7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a lemon wedge before serving.
