Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger grated, increased for more flavor
  • 1.5 tsp turmeric powder increased for a richer color and flavor
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos for added umami, check AIP compliance
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder for extra depth of flavor, optional for strict AIP
  • Sea salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix the grated ginger, turmeric powder, olive oil, lemon juice, coconut aminos, and garlic powder (if using).
  • Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Gently toss to coat each fillet evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with sea salt.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  • Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve warm.
