I was fumbling in the freezer the other day looking for some dinner inspiration, and came across a couple of salmon fillets waaaaaay in the back – quite lonely and forgotten. I defrosted them in the fridge and threw this meal together in a snap.
It got rave reviews from my kiddos and I wanted to pass it onto you. I served it with baked sweet potatoes (a treat for us as it’s not SCD compliant) and some sauteed baby bok choy.
We’re all salmon fans, but I think this recipe would work with any fish. If you try it on a different type of fish, please let me know how it turned out in the comments section below. Enjoy!

My mouth is watering!!!!
I am just new to this group. Being celiac I am very interested in this dish. I have printed it of to give it a try. It looks totally awesome. We had salmon a few days ago and it was a flop. Looking forward to trying this.
I hope it doesn’t flop for you!!! Enjoy

I nearly always alter a recipe, but not this one. The only thing I did differently was to cook it in the microwave, on high, for 2.25 minutes. It was sooo good that leftover salmon was delicious cold. I cook salmon about once a week, and this is now my very favorite recipe. Thank you.
Thanks so much! I’m so glad you enjoy the salmon. I love it cold too. Sometimes I take leftover salmon and make salmon cakes. MMMMMMMMMm
