Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup water
  • 3-4 4-5 oz salmon filets with skin (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 limes (juiced)
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • 2 tsp chipotle chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 large head of cauliflower
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • 1/2 cup diced white onion
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instruction

  • Place water in the bottom of your Instant Pot. Place the steamer rack on top of the water, handles extended up. 
  • In a small bowl, combine the salt, chipotle spice, and cumin. Season your salmon with the spice mixture, rubbing the filets. Place the salmon on your rack, skin side down. 
  • Secure the lid to your Instant Pot, ensuring the valve is in the sealed position.  Select the "steam" function (can also use the manual function) and adjust the time to 4 minutes. If salmon is thicker than 1 inch, you may need to add an additional 1-2 minutes. Use a quick release when cook time is complete.
  • While salmon is cooking, make the chipotle lime vinaigrette. In a blender or food processor, blend all ingredients until smooth, set aside. 
  • Now make the cauliflower rice. You can do this on the stovetop, or wait until cooking is complete on the salmon and cook in the IP. Heat up a large skillet to medium heat, or select the saute function on your IP (after you have removed salmon and drained the water). Cut the cauliflower into florets, and place inside a blender or food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles a rice texture, do not over blend or it will become mush! 
  • Once the pot or skillet is hot, add oil, then saute onions for 2-3 minutes. Now add the cauliflower rice, and continue to saute for another 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant. Sprinkle with garlic powder.
  • Add approximately 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette to the cauliflower rice and toss. Assemble the bowls by adding salmon to the top of your cauliflower rice, drizzle each filet with about 1 tbsp of the vinaigrette. Add salt to taste, and any additional toppings for garnish: cilantro, avocado, salsa, etc.
