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.
