Instructions

1. 1Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Mince the fresh garlic and zest the lime. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lime zest, and lime juice until combined.
2. 2Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes until hot. Place the salmon skin-side up in the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes until the skin is golden brown and releases easily from the pan.
3. 3Flip the salmon skin-side down, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 3–4 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove from heat and let rest 2 minutes.
4. 4While the salmon cooks, heat the frozen cauliflower rice in a separate skillet over medium heat with a splash of olive oil, stirring occasionally for 5–7 minutes until warmed through and any excess moisture evaporates.
5. 5Prepare the avocado salsa: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop into a bowl. Add the lime juice, Frank's RedHot Sauce, minced fresh garlic, fresh cilantro, and diced tomato. Gently mash with a fork until creamy with some chunks remaining; taste and adjust seasoning with the kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
6. 6Divide the cauliflower rice evenly among 4 airtight containers while hot. Top each with one salmon fillet and divide the avocado salsa evenly among the containers.
7. 7Seal containers and refrigerate until ready to serve. Reheat salmon and cauliflower rice gently over medium heat or in a 325°F oven for 5–7 minutes until warmed through before eating, or serve cold.
