Salmon and roasted veggies

Today I made a new recipe!  I knew I was cooking salmon when I got up this morning but needed a new twist on it!  I found this recipe on marksdailyapple.com.  It looked good so what the heck!  I will give it a whirl!

Here is what you need:
(I was lucky I had everything already on hand)

1/4 cup coconut aminos or tamari

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil

3 green onions, roughly chopped

2 to 4 cloves garlic

4 center-cut salmon fillets ( I only used 2 fillets)

3/4 pound green beans (give or take)

1 pound mushrooms (try a blend of cremini and oyster), roughly chopped

3 red bell peppers, thinly sliced (I used 1 red pepper + 1 green bell pepper)

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 ºF

Place three rimmed baking pans in the oven to heat up. One needs to be just large enough to hold the salmon, the other two will be for the vegetables. The more spread out the veggies are, the faster they will cook. (I used one round pan for salmon and one small casserole dish for veggies).
In a blender, combine the coconut aminos (or tamari) and the oils, green onions and garlic for about 25 seconds, until the green onions and garlic are very finely chopped.

Pour 1 tablespoon of the sauce into a small bowl and then brush it onto the salmon pieces.

Combine the green beans, bell peppers and mushrooms in a large bowl. Pour the remaining sauce on top and use your hands to toss the veggies until well coated.

Take the hot pans out of the oven. Set the salmon pieces in one of the hot pans. Spread the veggies out in the other two pans. Place all the pans in the oven.

 

 

 

Bake for 20 or so minutes or until salmon reaches desired doneness.

Sprinkle sea salt and black pepper over the salmon and veggies to taste. Serve with additional coconut aminos or tamari on the side for additional flavor if needed!

ENJOY!
