Ingredients

Units Scale

Steelhead Trout Bites

  • 1.5 lbs steelhead trout, cut into 1-1 1/2-inch bite-sized pieces
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon hot honey
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Roasted Cauliflower

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Brown Rice & Chickpea Base

  • 1 cup brown rice, rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Hot Honey Tahini Sauce (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons runny tahini
  • 1 tablespoon hot honey
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Add the trout bites to a bowl and toss with olive oil, lemon, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, hot honey, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Place aside.
  3. Spread the cauliflower on a sheet pan and season with olive oil, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20–22 minutes, until golden and lightly crisp.
  4. Spread the trout bites on a separate parchment-lined sheet pan. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. Rinse 1 cup of brown rice and cook it according to the package instructions. Before placing the lid on, scatter the drained and rinsed chickpeas on top of the rice. Cover the pot and let the chickpeas warm through as the rice cooks. When the rice is done, fluff everything together with a fork to combine.
  6. Whisk together the tahini, hot honey, lemon juice, and salt until smooth and drizzle-ready.
  7. Divide the warm brown rice and chickpeas into four bowls or containers. Add roasted cauliflower and trout bites. Keep the sauce separate until ready to enjoy.
