4 chicken breasts

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1½ cups full fat canned coconut milk

SLICE chicken breasts horizontally to make thin cutlets (to cook faster and more evenly).

REMOVE chicken from skillet and set aside. 

REDUCE heat to medium.

ADD chicken stock, lime juice, coconut milk, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Reserve coconut milk remaining in can. 

STIR sauce, scraping up browned bits remaining in pan from cooking chicken.

ENJOY!

Note: This is also great with shrimp! Add in toward the end of cooking because they cook much faster.

SEARED SALMON WITH ARUGULA

SEARED SALMON WITH ARUGULA.jpg

4 SERVINGS | 10 MINUTES

MACROS

carbs - 6g | fiber - 3g | fat - 47g | protein - 41g

INGREDIENTS

4 (5–6 ounces each) salmon fillets, preferably wild-caught

salt and pepper, to taste

⅓ cup plus 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

4 cups baby arugula

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 

1 ripe avocado, pitted and cut into ½-inch cubes

INSTRUCTIONS

PRESS salmon fillets between paper towels to dry surfaces thoroughly. Season on all sides with salt and pepper. 

HEAT ⅓ cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add salmon fillets skin-side down. Immediately reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, pressing gently on back of fillets to ensure good contact with skin, until skin is rendered and crisp, about 6 minutes. If skin sticks to the pan when attempting to lift with a spatula, allow it to continue to cook until it lifts easily.

MEANWHILE, in a large bowl, combine arugula, lemon juice, remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, and avocado. Season with salt and pepper.

FLIP salmon and cook on second side until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 120°F for medium rare or 130°F for medium, about 1 minute longer. Transfer salmon to a paper towel-lined plate. Spoon salad onto plates, top with salmon, and serve.

ENJOY!
