Calories: 488kcal
Ingredients
Salmon
- 12 ounces salmon
- 2 teaspoons white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
Dressing
- 1 carrots peeled and roughly chopped
- 1/2 shallot peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoons ginger fresh roughly chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon miso paste
- 1 1/2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Salad
- 2 cups romaine
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1/2 English cucumber peeled and sliced
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/2 cup edamame shelled
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 2 green onions sliced thin
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and grease with the avocado oil. Rub the miso and coconut aminos onto the salmon and then place it onto the prepared baking sheet. 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 the salmon cooks, prepare the dressing. Add all dressing ingredients to a blender and process until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste with more salt and vinegar as needed. Set aside.
- Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss with the dressing. Top with salmon and serve.
