I’ve been told many times by my guests that this is the best salmon they have ever eaten. Given how nourishing this dish is and how fast it is to make, this is a total winner by all accounts.
You can use any other fish as long as it’s a fatty fish, always wild, never farm-raised.
Don’t be scared by the copious amount of red onions; they will well complement the meal. They also offer great medicinal properties; rich in sulphur, onions and garlic help with liver detoxification and support estrogen metabolism.

- Zest the lime to a mixing bowl and add all the other ingredients.

- Slice the salmon into individual portions and serve over buckwheat or brown rice.
Notes
Inspired by “Nourishing Traditions” by Sally Fallon
Thank you Magdalena for this recipe, will definitely try this one as soon as I get the coconut aminos.
Great!
This seems delicious, but when I checked the price of wild salmon, $20/ portion!! – just the salmon, never mind the other ingredients, dinner for 4 at my house on this meal plan would be financially unsustainable.
Would trout be a good substitute?
It took me a while to get portions of salmon right for my family but I make for 4 men and two girls and myself and usually a pound and a half is more than enough for us .. not sure where you are but where I am Harris teeter has wild caught for 20/ pound .. hope that helps 🙂
