Ingredients

  • 1 large wild salmon fillet
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • A few sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • A few handfuls of fresh arugula
  • 2 to 3 artichoke hearts chopped
  • ¾ cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Dressing

  • 4 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 tablespoon paleo mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon or homemade mustard
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Fire up the grill and keep it at medium-low heat. While the grill heats up, season both sides of the salmon fillet with salt and pepper to taste. Place on a sheet of foil (enough to wrap around the whole piece of fish) and drizzle with coconut oil. Sprinkle the top of the fillet with minced garlic and place a few sprigs of thyme on top. Seal the salmon in the foil and place it on the barbecue. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until soft pink and flaky.

  • Meanwhile, in a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, cherry tomatoes, and artichoke hearts. During this time, you can also combine the ingredients for the dressing and set them aside for later use.

  • Once the salmon has cooked, remove it from the grill and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Using a fork, pull apart the salmon into smaller pieces. Toss in with the rest of the salad. Drizzle with the dressing and serve while the salmon is still a little warm.
