Does anyone have a tasty salmon recipe they can share? I love salmon, but I haven’t found a good go to recipe for it.
Thanks, Heather

[LinzyRA4]

Salmon… I prefer it raw but one of our kids lives for it cooked!
A couple easy options:
-Put lemon slices, Rosemary, & s&p on it. We do it in the oven, green egg or a grill pan on the stove.
-cilantro, garlic, lime

We use a lot of Flavor God seasonings. Def worth a try!

[ashleypoptodorova]

NOM!! I am trying this Linzy! 🙂 Sounds amazing. I have not had salmon in a little while so that would be nice. I will post a good recipe later too!
Hugs ladies and have a great day!

Linz… on the side of the forum, there is now a little guide to uploading pics. YEAH! Hope to see some of yours! You have the BEST recipes.

Thanks for sharing this idea. I think I’m trying to do too much to it and this is simple. Thanks again. Heather

Heather, here is a delicious salmon recipe that I found. Also, be sure to try some of the dips and dressings we have in our ebooks too! These will make delicious marinades to help switch it up.
One of our online coaching clients took all of our ebooks, printed them out and put them in sleeves in a 3 ring binder for easy access. I loved the idea and it helps for quick reference too.
Getting ready to post a “Poached Salmon and Swiss Chard” recipe! NOM!

[ashleypoptodorova]

POACHED SALMON AND SWISS CHARD:

Prep: 15 min
Slow Cook: 3 hours on low or 1.5 hours on high

1 & 1/4 b. fresh skinless wild alaskan salmon fillets
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp. preservative free dijon style mustard
1 tbsp. honey (remember, you can skip this for optimized fat loss)
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar mixed with two drops (not droppers!) of stevia
1 tsp dried dill weed
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 lb. swiss chard *about 4 bunches
or kale stemmed and cut into one inch pieces

Directions:

1) Rinse salmon and pat dry. Arrange in a 3.5-4 quart slow cooker, tucking under any thin edges. Sprinkle with garlic.

2) In a small bowl, combine mustard, honey vinegar with stevia and dill weed. Transfer 2 tbsp of the mixture to another small bowl and stir in onion and broth. Drizzle this broth mixture over the salmon.
Reserve remaining mustard mixture until ready to serve.

3) Cover and cook on low 3 hours or on high for 1.5 hours. If using low, the last 30 minutes of cooking, carefully remove salmon, add swiss chard and return salmon to slow cooker. If using high, the last 15 minutes of cooking remove salmon, add swiss chard and return salmon to slow cooker.

4) Carefully transfer salmon to a serving platter. Stir reserved mustard mixture into chard mixture, spoon onto platter with slammed.Drizzle any remaining mixture in cooker.

ENJOY! Makes about 4 servings.

Almond Butter Pancakes

Course: Breakfast
Servings:
Calories: 476 kcal
Author: Detoxinista.com
(Modified from her website: I like to double this recipe, I am after all feeding Alex! LOL)

Ingredients
1/2 cup almond butter
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 whole eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, if you plan on baking these. (My preferred method.)
In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix until a smooth, uniform batter is created.
Scoop the batter using a 1/4 cup onto the lined baking sheet, to form 7-8 pancakes. You will probably need two lined baking sheets, if you’d like to bake these all at once.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the pancakes are fluffy and golden. This is my preferred method, since you don’t need to use any extra oil for frying, and you can cook all the pancakes at once without even flipping them!
Alternatively, you can pan-fry these pancakes in a greased skillet over medium-high heat. Flip when the edges are firm and golden, about 4-5 minutes on each side.
Serve piping hot, with fresh fruit and/or pure maple syrup (for a ‘clean cheat’)
*** I like to melt fresh berries and use that as my topping.

Recipe Notes
Parchment paper is key for baking these. Even a Silpat doesn’t yield the same results as using parchment paper.
Enjoy!

I made these in a mini muffin tin – have not tested larger muffins so be careful that the inside is fully cooked if you make the larger ones.

Cinnamon Apple Muffins

5 Eggs
1c Unsweetened Applesauce
1/2c diced apples
2-3Tbs Cinnamon (I used 2.5)
1tsp baking soda
1/4c coconut oil
3 squirts Stevia (more or less)
1/2C coconut flour
24 mini paper cups and 2-12cup mini tins

1. mix it all up and let sit for 5 mins to let the coconut flour fully absorb.
2. pour into paper cups (they stick, so I find it best to use the cups)
3. bake at 400 degrees for 12-15min (wait for oven to get up to temp before baking)

Next time I’m going to try it with raw cocoa powder and stevia chips.
