Salmon and Snap Peas in Mushroom Dashi over Cauliflower Rice

Turns out, my 10-month-old daugther loves salmon. And snap peas. And cauliflower. Clearly, I lucked out in the ‘I hope my daughter is a foodie’ front. It also means that I’m now not only searching for ways to get (healthy) dinner on the table in under 30 minutes, but I’m also looking for unique ways to incorporate salmon, greens, and cauliflower at all times.

Luckily, Wegmans has come to the rescue! I modified this recipe to whip up a dish that would be fancy enough to impress a dinner party but fast enough (especially with a little prep the night before) to come together on a weeknight. There’s no excuse not to make this right away. Just beware – a 10-month-old may love cauliflower, but giving her cauliflower rice will lead to quite the decorating of your floor!

Salmon and Snap Peas in Mushroom Dashi over Cauliflower Rice
Ingredients:
1 cauliflower head
4 tsp olive oil
1 lb salmon
1 tbsp Wegmans pan searing flour
¼ tsp black pepper
8 oz snap peas, trimmed
8 oz shiitake mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp ginger (dried)
8 oz Wegmans mushroom dashi simmer sauce

Cut your cauliflower into large florets. Run them through a food processor's grater to produce cauliflower rice. (Note: you can buy "riced" cauliflower at most grocery stores, which might be good if you want extra speed, but you get a lot more for your money by doing it yourself!)

Get 2 tsp olive oil heating in a pan over medium heat. Dredge the salmon (both sides) in the pan searing flour and carefully place in the hot pan. Sprinkle evenly with the black pepper.

Cook for about 4 minutes, flip, and cook for another 4 minutes or until cooked to the desired degree. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Add the remaining olive oil to the pan, swirling to coat. Add the snap peas, mushrooms, garlic, and ginger. Saute for about 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower rice and the mushroom dashi sauce. Mix well to incorporate and cook for another 2 minutes.

Remove from heat. Serve the salmon over the veggie-"rice" mixture. Enjoy!
