4 servings
For the salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
For the basil sauce
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves, packed
- ¼ cup pine nuts
Ingredient noteThe Mold Detox diet is cautious about nuts because badly stored nuts can carry mold, but fresh pine nuts are likely tolerated by many on this diet. Buy nuts that look and smell fresh, and keep opened packages in the fridge or freezer. If you prefer to always avoid pine nuts, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
