Coconut & Macadamia Crusted Salmon

This delightful and oh-so-delicious dish is brimming with nutrients to heal and seal your gut. Salmon is high in omega-3 fatty acids to fight inflammation. Like all seafood, salmon also supplies zinc, which tends to be less well absorbed in people with digestive issues.

Serves:  2

Ingredients

• ½ cup macadamia nuts
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 1 egg
• 2 salmon fillets, bones removed
• 1 lemon
• Green salad leaves, to serve
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

1. Preheat oven to 360°F (180°C).
2. Combine macadamia nuts, coconut, and a little salt and pepper in a food processor to form a rustic crumbing mixture.
3. Beat egg in a small shallow bowl.
4. Dip salmon fillets in egg mixture before coating thoroughly with the crumbing mixture.
5. Transfer crumbed fillets onto a lined or greased baking tray. Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until salmon is cooked to your preferred level of ‘doneness’.
6. Serve salmon with a side of green salad leaves, drizzle of olive oil, and wedge of lemon.
