Easiest recipe ever! Wild Salmon covered in delicious spices and then slow baked so that it melts in your mouth, is impossible to overcook and comes out so flavorful! I served it over zucchini noodles with shitake mushrooms for an omega-3 packed, heart-healthy, gluten-free dish. This salmon recipe is also great paired with any salad, whole grain or roasted vegetables.
This recipe is dairy-free but if you are not looking to avoid dairy feel free to sub regular organic milk, grass-fed butter and Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients:
For the Salmon:
- 1 large piece Wild Alaskan Salmon or 4 pieces six to eight ounces each
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- Chopped fresh Dill and sliced Lemon for garnish
For the Zoodles:
- 2-3 large Zucchini, spiralized
- 1 cup Shitake Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Ghee or Olive Oil
- ¼ cup raw Pumpkin Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 2-3 Garlic Cloves
- ¾ cup non-dairy milk (I used Almond)
- 1 teaspoon fresh Lemon Juice
- 3-4 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast (or Parmesan cheese)
- 1 tsp. Arrowroot flour
- ½ - 1 tsp. Red Pepper flakes
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 270 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine chili powder, paprika, oregano and salt.
- Place salmon on parchment paper and sprinkle with seasoning mixture. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 30 minutes.
- While salmon is baking, place pumpkin seeds, salt, garlic, milk, lemon juice and nutritional yeast in a high-speed blender until creamy. Add more salt or pepper to taste.
- Pour contents of blender into a small saucepan, add arrowroot and cook over low heat, stirring regularly, until sauce thickens, about 3-4 min.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Heat ghee or olive oil and add mushrooms. Sauté 3-4 minutes, turning until lightly browned. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add zucchini noodles and sauce to skillet. Stir until everything is well coated.
- Plate zoodles, sprinkle with red pepper flakes and top with salmon, fresh dill and lemon slices.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
