Yaki Salmon

Yaki Salmon is a flavorful Japanese dish featuring perfectly grilled salmon marinated in a savory blend of tamari and sesame oil. This Paleo-friendly supper is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it a healthy choice for dinner.

Ingredients

• Salmon fillets - 2 x 150g
• Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove
• Green onions, chopped - 1 tablespoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Cauliflower rice - 200g
• Coconut oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Sesame seeds - for garnish

Steps

1. In a small bowl, whisk together tamari, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the salmon is marinating, heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
5. Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Serve the grilled salmon on a bed of cauliflower rice, garnished with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
