Ingredients
- 20 ounces salmon skin removed (see notes)
- ⅓ cup unsweetened fine coconut
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup light coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon EACH: curry powder, turmeric, and sea salt
- 1 lb. cabbage chopped (preferably green or savoy cabbage)
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
Instructions
- Cut the salmon into 2-inch pieces (about 20 pieces total). Place the coconut in a bowl and dip each piece of salmon into the coconut so that it is coated well on all sides.
- Heat the coconut oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook until golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip the salmon pieces over and cook for another 3 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the salmon from the pan.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the coconut milk, curry powder, turmeric, and salt and stir. Add the cabbage to the pan and mix it again. Cover the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is soft.
- Add the spinach to the pan and let it wilt. Divide between 4 plates and serve with the crispy salmon on top.
