INGREDIENT NOTES:
SALMON FILLETS:
- The main ingredient in this recipe is fresh salmon fillets, which are high in protein and fats and ideal for a keto diet. Select skin-on pieces for optimal flavor and moisture content.
WHITE MISSO:
- White miso paste adds less carbs in the sauce while adds the distinctive savory-sweet umami flavor. It enriches the taste of salmon and pairs greatly with seafood.
RICE VINEGAR:
- Rice vinegar adds a delicate tang to balance the richness of the glaze. We use apple cider vinegar as it’s a good substitute if required.
TAMARI:
- Tamari boosts the flavor of the miso and adds a deep umami flavor. We can also use coconut aminos, although they are slightly higher in carbs.
CAULIFLOWER:
- Cauliflower is great as it doesn’t contain starch like potatoes. It gets crisp edges and a nutty flavor when roasted.
OLIVE OIL:
- It roasts the cauliflower and salmon fillets and helps to get them crisp and golden. It keeps the recipe keto and also adds healthy fats.
SALT & PEPPER:
- Season the cauliflower with salt to provide the flavor in the dish & it also fixes the richness of the sauce. Black pepper adds a little spice content and use the fresh one for a strong taste.
MAYONNAISE:
- It makes the base of the creamy sauce, and it also helps in coating the cauliflower florets.
SIRACHA:
- It provides a spice content & acidity in the dish. We add the quantity of Sriracha as we want to.
ERYTHRITOL:
- It adds a slight sweet taste to the sauce, and it is also keto. Use monk fruit or stevia instead if required.
