Ingredients

• Salmon fillet - 300 grams
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Cauliflower - 400 grams (riced)
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Mirin - 1 tablespoon
• Green onion - 2 stalks, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Coconut oil - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. 1. Begin by ricing the cauliflower using a food processor or grater. Set aside.
2. 2. Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper, then coat them in almond flour evenly on all sides.
3. 3. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
