Ingredients:

  • 2 Japanese eggplants, sliced

  • 2 cups sliced Brussels sprouts

  • 1 package Palmini heart of palm linguini

  • ¼ cup Coconut Aminos

  • 2 six-eight-ounce pieces of wild salmon

  • Avocado oil

  • Extra-virgin olive oil

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil

  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

 

 Preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  • Spread veggies on baking sheet and spray/mist or drizzle with avocado oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 25-35 minutes, tossing halfway during cooking. Remove veggies from oven when done and spray/mist or drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.

  • Rinse Palmini linguini under water thoroughly and add to a small saucepan. Add ¼ cup plain almond milk (or other milk of choice) and ¼ cup nutritional yeast, season with salt and pepper. Cook on low until sauce thickens and everything is combined.  Remove from heat.

  • Wash salmon fillets and pat dry with a paper towel. Place salmon on roasting pan or a parchment-lined baking sheet.  Drizzle with coconut aminos and spread with a pastry brush, finally sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.

  • Roast salmon for 4-6 minutes per ½ inch thickness of salmon.  Roasting time depends on the thickness of your salmon, as determined by the thickest part of the fillet.  For every ½ inch of salmon, roast 4-6 minutes.  4 minutes will be slightly rare and 6 minutes will thoroughly cook it.

  • Plate the veggies, linguini and top with salmon.

  • Squeeze lemon over the salmon and finish it with a little drizzle of sesame oil.

  • Serve and enjoy!
