Tips
I usually do cherry tomatoes with spinach and cook that with the garlic...super healthy and tasty
Salmon doesn’t take long like most seafood, so it is ok if it is a little pink in the middle. If you cook it for too long you’ll burn the skin (crispy skin is good!) but anymore and it will become too dry, you won't love the taste and you decrease the amount of good nutrients into the body.
Some people remove the skin, however the skin has the most nutrients and it is the best part, so try it with sliced lemon over the top.
Don’t over cook your veg!!! The brighter the colour of the veg the better! I steam mine in the microwave as it saves time and water, of course steam them in a pot if you would prefer. I also like mine crunchy if you don’t want to try that just cook a little longer but please don’t lose that colour - that’s all your nutrients!
You can add salt and pepper to taste and you can cook this with olive oil instead of coconut oil
You don’t have to have garlic sometimes I use fresh chilli, depends on your tastebuds ;)
