INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prep

   Prepare your chosen grain, chop your avocado into cubes, thinly slice your cucumber, chop your walnuts, and set all aside.

2. Marinate the Salmon

   In a large bowl combine 1/3 cup of olive oil, 1/6 cup of coconut aminos, 2 tablespoons of sriracha, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of paprika, 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper, oregano, juice of 1/2 lime, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, and some pepper. Add the salmon cubes, mix, and set aside to let marinate for about 20 minutes.

3. Sauté the Walnuts

   While the salmon is marinating, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a small pan and let heat on medium-low heat. Once pan is hot add the walnuts and sesame seeds. Once the walnuts begin to brown, add 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos to the pan and mix. Turn off the heat and set aside.

4. Cook the Salmon

   In a medium-sized pan, add about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat on medium heat. Once hot, add 2 cloves of garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes. Now add the salmon cubes into the pan. Cook on one side until halfway cooked (about 5 minutes) then flip the cubes and continue cooking for about 5 more minutes or until it is at your liking.

5. Make the Dressing

   Mix the remaining olive oil, paprika, coconut aminos, sriracha, salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, lime juice, and garlic with the ginger and Italian seasoning.

   To a bowl, start with a bed of rice or quinoa and then add a serving of salmon, avocado, cucumber, and walnuts on top. Finally, pour a bit of the dressing on top and enjoy!
