Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 salmon fillet
  • 1 cup cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
  • 45 asparagus spears
  • 68 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup diced carrots and celery
  • Lemon, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the salmon fillet with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon skin-side down for about 4 minutes until crispy, then flip carefully and cook until fully cooked through.
  2. On a baking sheet, toss asparagus and cherry tomatoes with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for around 10-15 minutes until slightly blistered.
  3. In another skillet, sauté cauliflower rice along with diced carrots and celery over medium heat until tender. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional garlic powder.
  4. Lightly grill lemon slices until caramelized to add depth of flavor.
  5. Plate the cooked salmon alongside the roasted veggies and sautéed cauliflower rice. Add charred lemon slices on top or beside for an extra zing.
