Salmon with Lime Cilantro Sauce (GF)

Salmon with Lime Cilantro Sauce (GF)

(4 servings)

Ingredients:

2 tbsp. Canola Oil, divided

1 tbsp. Brown Mustard Seeds

1 tsp. Cumin Seeds

4 pieces Salmon Fillet (1-inch thick)

1½ tsp. Kosher Salt, divided

½ tsp. Black Pepper

1¼ cup Fresh Cilantro Leaves, divided, loosely packed

½ cup Green Onions, sliced

1 medium Jalapeno, chopped

3 gloves Fresh Garlic

1 cup Coconut Milk

3 tbsp. Fresh Lime Juice

Directions:

Put 1 tbsp. oil in a small skillet over medium heat.  Add mustard seeds, cover and cook until you hear first seed pop.  Add cumin seeds, cover and cook 1 minute.  Remove from heat and let cool 10 minutes.  In a food processor, pulse toasted seeds, 1 cup cilantro leaves, green onions, 1 tsp. salt, jalapeno and garlic until finely chopped, 10-12 times.  Add coconut milk and lime juice, pulse to combine.  Meanwhile, brush salmon on both sides with remaining oil.  Sprinkle fresh sides with a ½ tsp. of salt and pepper.  Grill on a pre-heated medium-high grill, flesh side down (close lid if using gas), carefully turning once with a wide spatula, until opaque but still moist-looking in thickest part (9-10 minutes).  Lift salmon off skin onto serving plates.  Top each fillet with ¼ cup of sauce and 1 tbsp. of cilantro leaves and serve.

Note:               On the jalapeno, you can chop it up with or without the seeds.  It just depends on how much heat you want.  If heat is not your thing, don’t use a jalapeno.
