Serves 1

Ingredients

• 200g salmon fillet (skin on)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
• 1 tsp butter or ghee (optional if tolerated)
• Juice + zest of ½ lemon
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped
• 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
• ½ cup cucumber, finely diced
• 2 tbsp sauerkraut (look for raw, unpasteurised)
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil (for the salsa)
• Sea salt & black pepper, to taste

Method

1. Pat the salmon dry and season with salt, pepper, lemon zest, and garlic.
2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the salmon, skin-side down, and cook 4–5 mins until crisp. Flip and cook another 3–4 mins until just cooked through.
3. Toss asparagus in the same pan for 2–3 mins until lightly charred.
4. In a small bowl, mix cucumber, sauerkraut, dill, lemon juice, and a drizzle of olive oil for your probiotic-rich salsa.
5. Plate the salmon with asparagus and spoon the salsa over the top.
