Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the broiler to high. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet and brush the citrus marinade evenly over each fillet. Let marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Step 3: While salmon marinates, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium riced cauliflower and sauté for 5 minutes until softened but still slightly crisp.
Step 4: Stir in 2 thinly sliced green onions and season cauliflower rice with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Step 5: Place the salmon under the broiler for 8-10 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the edges are caramelized.
Step 6: Serve the broiled citrus salmon over the spiced cauliflower rice, garnished with 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves.
