This Carrot-Ginger Miso Chicken Salad is a vibrant, nutrient-packed dish that’s as satisfying as it is flavorful. The zesty miso salad dressing paired with tender chicken and crunchy vegetables creates a harmony of taste and texture.
Ingredients
Salmon
1lb raw (wild) salmon, skinned and cut into 2-inch cubes (I recommend center-cut since it is the thickest part)
1 tablespoon coconut sugar
pinch of sea salt & pepper
spray oil
2 tablespoons raw butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
5 tablespoons Sriracha
Garnish
finely chopped parsley
Avocado & Mango Salsa
1 large (~1 cup) mango, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large avocado, diced
juice from 1 lemon
Optional herb – finely diced parsley, cilantro or basil
Instructions
Season salmon with coconut sugar, sea salt & pepper.
Set a nonstick skillet on medium high heat. Once hot, spray with oil then add the salmon cubes.
Sear for 1 – 3 minutes, or until sear marks appear.
(Note: monitor the heat because the coconut sugar will burn so sear marks should appear faster than normal.)
Use tongs to flip the salmon over to cook for another 1 – 3 minutes until you reach your desired level of doneness.
Remove and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low, then add butter, sriracha and garlic.
Stir immediately and ensure the skillet is not so hot that it simmers the butter or sauce.
Add the salmon back to the skillet and gently fold into the sauce.
Enjoy with your choice of grain or cauliflower rice and avocado-mango salsa.
