12-Min Citrus Salmon

I don’t consider myself much of a cook, but I LOVE flavor. I also LOVE food that’s quick.  That’s why one of my favorite things to do is mix salmon (a true “fast food”) with the intense flavor of citrus.

So, today I invite you to test out one of my favorite meals…

Explosive citrus flavor in less than 30 mins. How does it get better than that?

12-Minute Citrus Salmon

• 1 lb. Wild Caught Salmon
• 1 Avocado
• 1 Sweet Onion
• 1 Head of Cauliflower
• 2 Fresh Lemons
• 2 Fresh Oranges
• 2 Fresh Garlic Cloves
• Spices: Black Pepper, Sea Salt
• Olive Oil
• Coconut Oil

Optional: For best flavor explosion… start by marinating the Salmon in black pepper, olive oil, and the juice of 1 orange for 2-3 hours. I always forget… but it’s totally worth it if you can remember.

The Lemon Roasted Cauliflower…

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and break up the florets from a head of cauliflower and spread them out on a baking dish. In a separate bowl, combine the juice of one lemon, 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1/2 cup melted coconut oil, black pepper, sea salt, and 2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped) and drizzle it evenly across the florets. Bake them for about 25 minutes until the florets start to brown – AMAZING!

The Citrus Salmon…

While the cauliflower is baking, dice up the sweet onion and saute it in coconut oil until it starts to brown (that’s the glazed look). Next, when there’s about 12 mins left for the cauliflower, place the salmon on a baking sheet with some parsley and black pepper and add it to the oven… they both need to bake another 12-15 minutes.  The salmon is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F.

Top off the salmon with the juice of 1 orange and spread the glazed onion evenly on top.

The Guacamole…

I like to keep this simple and mash up 1 avocado, then add sea salt and the juice of 1 lemon. It provides a wonderful compliment to the salmon and cauliflower.
