Ingredients:
1 head of fresh cauliflower, grated or 1 bag frozen cauliflower, riced
2 carrots finely chopped
1 cup frozen peas
1 onion finely chopped, or 1 tsp. onion powder
2 eggs
¼ cup Coconut Aminos
3-4 tbsp. coconut or sesame oil or a combination of both
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil
2 six-eight ounce pieces of wild salmon
3-4 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1-2 tbsp. Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Seasoning Blend
Juice of 1 lemon
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Preparation:
- Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat and add half the coconut or sesame oil.
- Sauté carrots and onions (if using fresh) until they start to soften.
- Add the rest of the oil, cauliflower and frozen peas to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3-4 minutes until cauliflower starts to soften but not get mushy.
- Make a hole in the center of the mixture to reach the bottom of the pan and crack the eggs into the hole.
- Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the coconut aminos, garlic powder, onion powder (if using), salt and pepper.
- Scramble the eggs in the mixture.
- Add the remaining coconut aminos and stir until flavors are combined. Finish by drizzling with toasted sesame oil. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash salmon fillets and pat dry with paper towel. Drizzle salmon with just enough oil to coat with a pastry brush, sprinkle generously with Everything but the bagel seasoning.
- Place salmon on roasting pan or a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 4-6 minutes per ½ inch thickness of salmon. Roasting time depends on the thickness of your salmon, as determined by the thickest part of the fillet. For every ½ inch of salmon, roast 4-6 minutes. 4 minutes will be slightly rare and 6 minutes will thoroughly cook it.
- Plate the cauliflower fried rice and top with salmon.
- Squeeze lemon over salmon.
- Serve and enjoy!
