Ingredients

4 4 oz wild-caught Alaskan salmon fillets
2 c frozen cauliflower rice

MARINADE

1 clove garlic, minced
1 c plain coconut milk yogurt
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp garam masala
1 tbsp EVOO
1 tsp sea salt

CUCUMBER AND TOMATO SALAD

2 c grape tomatoes, halved
6 Persian cucumbers cut in half moons
1/2 red onion, diced
juice of one lime
1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
sea salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

Rinse salmon, pat dry and remove skins. In a large bowl, add all marinade ingredients and mix thoroughly to combine. Add salmon to the marinade and coat well. Cover bowl with saran wrap and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
While fish is marinating, prepare Cucumber and Tomato Salad. First, cut, slice and chop the tomatoes, cucumbers, onion and parsley. Add all salad ingredients to a large bowl and mix gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Once fish has marinated, add fish to grill basket and cook 5-7 minutes per side. If you’re making these as kebabs, you must first thread the cubes onto skewers (3-4 pieces each) then place directly on the grill.
While fish is grilling, put a medium saucepan on the stove and warm 1tbsp EVOO at medium heat. Add 2 c frozen cauliflower rice and cook about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Once done cooking, remove from heat + turn off stove.
Remove salmon from grill and place on top of warm cauliflower rice. Serve with a refreshing side of Tomato + Cucumber salad. Makes 4 servings. Enjoy!
