Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil with 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush the spice mixture evenly over the salmon. Roast for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Step 3: While salmon roasts, heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 cups grated cauliflower rice and sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened and slightly golden.
Step 4: Remove skillet from heat and stir in 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Serve salmon fillets atop the cauliflower rice for a vibrant Whole30 meal.
