Ingredients
Salmon
- 1 pound salmon boneless and skinless
- 2 dried apricots
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon glucomann powder
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon monk fruit granulated, omit if using coconut aminos
- 1/2 teaspoon sriracha optional, omit for nightshade-free
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Salad
- 1 English cucumber I like to use a mandolin but a vegetable peeler works just as well
- 1 medium carrot shaved thin (I like to use a mandolin but a vegetable peeler works just as well)
- 4 radishes shaved thin (I like to use a mandolin but a vegetable peeler works just as well)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 lemon
- zest of 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons pistachios chopped, omit for nut-free
- 2 tablespoons parsley minced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and grease with a little bit of avocado oil to prevent sticking. Lay salmon on top and set aside.
- Combine the apricots, water, glucomann, coconut aminos, sriracha, garlic, and apple cider vinegar in a blender and process until smooth.
- Rub the apricot mixture onto the salmon and bake at 200ºF 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 the salmon cooks, prepare the salad. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss to coat evenly.
- Distribute salad between two serving plates. Top with salmon and serve with a garnish of parsley and pistachio.
