kcalSalmon is a perennial favorite at most dinner tables, but some people (like my significant other) can’t get past the specific flavor of salmon. For those folks (and my live-in taste tester), try this recipe, which is bursting with spices and accompanied by my favorite side dish, garlicky green beans. Allow the salmon to marinate in the rub overnight for the best flavor.
Ingredients
FOR THE RUB:
2 tbsp stevia, or other sugar substitute
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tbsp ground cumin
1/2 tbsp paprika
1/2 tbsp salt
1/4 tsp dry mustard Dash cinnamon
FOR THE SALMON:
4 tbspcoconut oil
4 (4 to 6-ounce) Alaskan salmon fillets
4 tbsp Dijon mustard, divided
FOR THE GREEN BEANS:
3 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound green beans
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- TO MAKE THE RUB: In a medium bowl, combine the stevia, chili powder, black pepper, cumin, paprika, salt, dry mustard, and cinnamon.
- TO PREPARE THE SALMON: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the coconut oil for about 5 minutes.
- Liberally coat each salmon fillet with 1 tablespoon of mustard.
- Season each fillet, on both sides, with an equal amount of the rub. Set aside.
- Once the coconut oil has heated, increase the heat to medium-high. Add the salmon and sear for about 2 minutes. Flip and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes more, until the fish is opaque.
- TO MAKE THE GREEN BEANS: In another large skillet over medium heat, heat the butter and olive oil. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the green beans, salt, and pepper. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Serve immediately alongside the salmon.
