Alaska Salmon With Rhubarb-Ginger Sauce And Spiralized Veggies

Instructions

1. Step 1 Make the rhubarb-ginger sauce

   Heat half of the oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and the ginger and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the rhubarb and sauté for an additional 30 seconds. Add the scallions, vinegar, liquid/coconut aminos and liquid stevia. Cook to heat through; cover and keep warm.

2. Step 2 Pan-sear the salmon 

   Heat a skillet or heavy ridged stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. If using frozen salmon, rinse under cold water to remove any ice glaze; pat dry with paper towel. Brush both sides of fish with remaining avocado oil. Place fish in heated pan, skin side up, and cook, uncovered, 3-4 minutes, until browned. Turn fish over and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover and reduce the heat to medium. Cook an additional 6-8 minutes until fish is opaque throughout.

3. Step 3 Stir fry vegetables

   In a very large skillet or wok, heat the avocado oil, then add the green beans, snap peas and squash. Sauté the veggies over medium-high heat about 5 minutes, until crisp-tender. Remove from heat and stir in the spinach/arugula to wilt slightly.

4. Step 4  Assemble salad, plate and serve

   Stir all of the cooked quinoa into the skillet veggie mixture. Increase heat to medium and cook until warmed throughout. Taste and add ground pepper, if desired. Portion the quinoa-veggie mixture onto 4 large bowls or plates. Top the bowls with the carrot, beet, avocado and toasted pepita seeds. Drizzle salad with 3-4 tablespoons of your favorite vinaigrette dressing. Top each bowl with a salmon fillet and spoon on some rhubarb-ginger sauce.
