Ingredients

Cauliflower Rice

1 tsp. Garlic powder
1/2 cup Diced white onion
1 tbsp. Avocado oil or olive oil
1 Large head of cauliflower

Chipotle Lime Vinaigrette

1/4 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp. Sea salt
2 tsp. Chipotle chili powder
1/2 cup Avocado oil or olive oil
1 tbsp. White vinegar
2 Juiced limes

Salmon

1 tsp. Cumin
1/2 tsp. Chipotle chili powder
1/4 tsp. Sea salt
4.5 oz. Salmon filets with skin about 1 inch thick
1 cup Water

Method

01

Place water in the bottom of your Instant Pot. Place the steamer rack on top of the water, handles extended up.
02

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.
03

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 1-2 minutes. Use a quick release when cook time is complete.
04

While salmon is cooking, make the chipotle lime vinaigrette. In a blender or food processor, blend all ingredients until smooth, set aside.
05

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 a large skillet to medium heat, or select the saute function on your IP. 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!
06

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.
07

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.
