Ingredients
Salmon
- 1 pound salmon
- 1 tablespoon lemongrass paste
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
Salad
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1/2 English cucumber julienned
- 1 carrot peeled and julienned
- 1/2 red bell pepper sliced thin, omit for nightshade-free
- 1/4 cup mint leaves
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons lime juice or rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce or 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon monk fruit powdered, omit if using coconut aminos
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 Thai chili minced or sriracha to taste, omit for nightshade-free
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and grease with a bit of avocado oil. Lay the salmon filets on top.
- Combine the lemongrass, garlic, and coconut aminos and rub all over the salmon. Bake at 250ºF for 20-35 minutes, or until the fish is just beginning to flake, or registers 120ºF inside. It will have a more raw appearance but be cooked at this point.
- While salmon bakes, prepare the dressing and salad. Stir together all dressing ingredients and adjust seasoning to taste with more lime, fish sauce, or sweetener as desired. Set aside. Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.
- When ready to serve, toss the salad greens with the dressing. Top with salmon and serve.
