Method

  • 1. Whisk together the flour and sea salt in a small bowl. In another small bowl whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Add the coconut to another small bowl.
  • 2. Dip the chunks of salmon in the flour, second in the egg and third in the coconut. Set the pieces aside on a plate or tray while you finish the rest.
  • 3. Heat the coconut oil in a medium sized non stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add the salmon to the hot pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes, turning the pieces so they brown on all sides.
  • 4. Remove the salmon from the pan and place them on a paper towel while you finish the rest. Add more coconut oil to the pan as needed.
  • 5. For the dip, simply add a pinch of salt and pepper to a small pot, add the chopped chili and squeeze a fresh lime. Mix together.
  • 6. Serve the salmon with a sprinkling of chopped chilis and the salt, pepper and lime dip on the side and enjoy!
