Recipe Tips

  • Prep the Cauliflower Well: Make sure to process the cauliflower until it resembles couscous. This helps create a light, fluffy texture for the topping.
  • Season Generously: Don’t skimp on salt and pepper when seasoning the salmon and the cauliflower mix. It enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh lemon juice and high-quality cheese will make a big difference in taste. Fresh ingredients add brightness and richness to the dish.
  • Check Salmon for Doneness: Salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork when done. Avoid overcooking to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Experiment with Toppings: Feel free to add herbs or spices to the cauliflower topping, like dill or garlic powder, to customize the flavor to your liking.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers

  • Refrigerate: Put them in an airtight container and refrigerate. They will stay good for up to 2 days.
  • Freeze: To freeze the salmon, cool it down first. Place leftover salmon fillets in an airtight freezer bag and remove as much air as you can. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To thaw, just put the salmon in the fridge overnight before you want to eat it.
  • Reheating: To reheat leftover salmon fillets , cover them with foil and bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, microwave on medium power for 1-2 minutes.
