Protein Swap | Paleo: Basil Salmon

with Fennel-Orange Salad & Walnuts

Eat paleo and pull a fast one, both at the same time. This meal is as time conscious as it is diet conscious, featuring protein-strong fish, a walnut topping and not a hint of grains. Once it’s pan-seared to pink perfection, toss your salmon with fresh green basil leaves. The accompanying salad streams in sunlight with sections of fresh orange, the edgy taste of fennel and baby greens in a white balsamic vinaigrette.

Preparation

Mise en place

Cut off the top and bottom of the orange so it sits flat on your cutting board; cut away the peel and white pith. Halve lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Halve and core the fennel bulb lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise.

Cook the salmon

Pick the basil leaves off the stems; tear the leaves. Pat the salmon dry with paper towel; season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P. In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the salmon* and cook, 2 to 3 min. per side, until browned and cooked as desired. Add ½ the basil.

Make the salad

In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining basil and spices, and S&P. Add the baby greens, orange and fennel; toss well.
