Salmon and cabbage, by themselves, are very basic ingredients. Add a handful of spices, and incredible magic happens.
This dish here turns the ordinary into something special with the assistance of ginger, coconut milk, tandoori seasoning, and cashews. The nuts add an element of surprise, though if you are nut-free, go ahead and omit them, as this dish is also wonderful without them.
When eating, and serving, Paleo meals, it is always important to consider food (in)tolerances and preferences. Eat what feels great for your body, keeping in mind that we are all different, and we are all healing in our own time.
What is particularly nice about this dish, is the warm and spicy element of the gingery cabbage. It has been said that ginger is good for both the body and the brain, so grab a heart-warming rhizome and get grating!
As a supplement, ginger can often be found in capsule form; though consuming it fresh, you'll most likely get the most benefits which can include regulating blood sugar, reducing joint and muscle pain, and improving brain function. It's a wonderful spice that can be made in many preparations, like this ginger turmeric orange juice.
You may want to take this dish just one step further and indulge in a stack of cauliflower tortillas to satisfy the need to scoop up or wrap the sautéed cabbage in. It's a fantastic low-carb dish that always hits the spot.
