Total
Yield 2 Fillets
Ingredients:
For the coconut lime sauce:
- ½ (13½-ounce) can organic full-fat coconut milk
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- Handful organic shredded coconut (extra for garnish)
- Grated zest of 1 lime
For the salmon:
- 2 (6-ounce) fillets fresh or frozen and thawed wild caught salmon with skin
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil, for frying
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Pink salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 lime, sliced into wedges, for garnish.
- Unsweetened shredded coconut, for garnish
Instructions:
Step#1: Make the sauce: Stir together all of the sauce ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.
Step #2: Make the salmon: Combine roughly two-thirds of the sauce and the salmon in a leak-proof bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Reserve the remaining sauce.
Step #3: In a skillet over high heat, warm the coconut oil. Add the salmon fillets to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Poke a fork in to make sure it looks cooked through. Remove from the heat and transfer the fillets to a platter.
Step #4: Drizzle the remaining coconut lime sauce over the salmon fillets. Sprinkle the dill, ginger, lemon zest, salt, and pepper over the fillets and serve hot garnished with the lime wedges and coconut shreds.

Dr Jockers Comments:
This coconut lime seared salmon is a beautiful recipe and one that I am using for my autoimmune elimination program and my digestive health restoration program. It is a combination of healthy fats, clean protein and antioxidants to reduce inflammation and improve the body’s ability to heal.
Always look for wild-caught salmon rather than farm-raised as it has significantly more nutrients and less environmental toxins. Lime is full of potassium, vitamin C and citrus bioflavonoids which help to improve capillary permeability and cellular oxygenation. This is one of the most anti-inflammatory, tissue healing dinner style meals you could consume. Add in a tossed salad or some steamed or sautéed veggies with grass-fed butter/ghee and you have a complete meal.
