Ingredients
Balsamic Glazed Salmon
- 1 pound salmon 2 filets
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons allulose or 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- pinch red pepper flakes omit for nightshade-free
- 1 small sprig rosemary about 2-inches long
Lemon Garlic Snow Pea Sauté
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
- 6 ounces snow peas ends trimmed and strings removed
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 garlic clove minced
- zest of 1/2 lemon
- parsley minced, optional
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 to taste with salt and pepper. 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 glaze. Combine all remaining ingredients in a small pan and bring to a simmer. Cook until reduced by half and the texture is syrupy. Set aside.
- Finally, prepare the pea sauté. Heat a large nonstick pan over high heat. Add the oil and the peas. Cook until lightly blistered in spots, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant, stirring to prevent it form burning. Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle with lemon zest and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve along with the salmon with the glaze drizzled over top.
