Ingredients

  • ½ cup black rice
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil , divided
  • Kosher or fine sea salt
  • 12 ounces colored cauliflower florets , from about 2 small heads
  • 5-6 small cloves garlic , peeled
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 (6-ounce) fresh salmon fillets
  • 2 teaspoons dark chili powder
  • 1 cup microgreens or sprouts , such as clover and broccoli
  • 1 navel orange , cut into 8 wedges
  • Sliced jalapeño for serving , optional

Instructions

  • Combine rice, 1¼ cups water, 1 teaspoon avocado oil, and a pinch of salt in a small heavy-duty pot; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes or until almost all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 more minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine cauliflower florets and garlic cloves with 2 tablespoons of oil, toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, and roast until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown, 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Preheat the broiler to high heat for about 5 minutes. Line the same baking sheet with a fresh piece of parchment paper; set aside.
  • Evenly coat salmon fillets with remaining 2 teaspoons of oil and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle tops evenly with chili powder; season with salt and pepper. Broil in the center of the oven for 13-15 minutes or until salmon is cooked through.
  • Divide salmon fillets between two bowls and arrange artfully along with black rice, roasted cauliflower, microgreens, orange wedges, and jalapeño (if using). To serve, drizzle with juice from orange wedges.
