Ingredients
Salmon
- 1 pound salmon filets skinless
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 garlic clove minced
Tomato Ginger Dressing
- 1/2 cup diced tomato 1 tomato
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon ginger fresh grated
- 1/4 teaspoon fish sauce optional, adds umami and you won’t taste it but it brings out the sweetness in tomatoes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Salad
- 3 cups mixed greens
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 carrot peeled and shredded
- 1 small zucchini shredded
- 1/2 shallot sliced thin, optionally pickled
- 1/4 cup cashews roasted, or almonds, omit for nut-free
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200ºF and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Rub the foil with a little bit of avocado oil to prevent sticking and then lay the salmon on top. Season with coconut aminos and sprinkle with the garam masala, cumin, and garlic. Bake at 200ºF for 20 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 fish bakes, prepare the dressing. Combine all dressing ingredients in a blender and blend until completely smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
- Combine all salad ingredients in a large serving bowl. When the salmon is cooked, flake it on top of the salad and drizzle with the dressing.
