Ingredients

Salmon Bites

  • 1.5 lbs skinless salmon cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp chipotle in adobo
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp honey
  • ¼ tsp salt

Honey Lime Chipotle Sauce

  • 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp chipotle in adobo
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 clove garlic

Pickled Onions

  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp honey
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced

Bowl Ingredients

  • 2 cups sautéed cauliflower rice or 1 1/2 cups white or brown rice
  • 2 cups finely shredded green cabbage
  • 1 avocado thinly sliced
  • 2 persian cucumbers thinly sliced

Instructions

  • In a blender add the chipotle in adobo, cumin, lime juice, olive oil, honey and saltand blend until smooth. Add the cubed salmon to a bowl and pour the sauce overtop. Set aside to marinate for 20 minutes.
  • To make the pickled onions, in a medium sized bowl whisk together the apple cider vinegar, water and honey. Add in the thinly sliced onion and press down on the slices using a fork to ensure they are all submerged in the liquid. Set aside for a minimum of 15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the bowl.
  • Make the chipotle honey lime sauce by combining all of the ingredients for the sauce in a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat a nonstick pan on medium high heat. Once hot add in ½ the salmon pieces and cook the salmon for approximately 2-3 minutes per side until a golden brown crust forms. Use metal tongs or a fork to gently turn the salmon pieces. Repeat with the second batch of salmon.
  • To assemble the bowls divide the cauliflower rice (or white or brown rice), shredded cabbage, avocado and thinly sliced cucumbers between 2 bowls. Top with the salmon and red onion and drizzle in the chipotle honey lime sauce.
