Method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Cook the rice according to package instructions until fluffy, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the canned tomatoes (including juice), dried basil, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
- In a baking dish, lay the cauliflower florets and radish slices at the bottom. Pour half of the tomato mixture over the veggies.
- Place the salmon fillets on top of the vegetable mixture and spoon the remaining tomato sauce over the salmon, ensuring it is well coated.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 63°C or 145°F).
- Once done, serve the salmon mixture over the cooked rice, garnished with fresh mint and optional grated parmesan, if desired.
- Allow to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious creation!
