4 servings
For the salmon
- 1.5 lb skin-on salmon fillet, pin bones removed
For the marinade
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
Ingredient noteCoconut aminos is a common stand-in for soy sauce on a candida diet. It does carry a little sugar from coconut sap, but this recipe uses only about 2 1/4 teaspoons per serving, which is likely fine.
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp lemon zest (from about 1 large lemon)
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- 1
Place the salmon fillet in the freezer for 30 minutes — this firms the flesh and makes it much easier to slice cleanly. While the salmon chills, whisk together the coconut aminos, lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh dill, garlic, ginger, turmeric, salt, and olive oil in a mixing bowl until combined.

Remove the salmon from the freezer. Using a sharp knife, slice the fillet against the grain into strips about 1/4 inch thick, cutting at a slight angle for wider pieces. Remove and discard the skin as you slice. You should have roughly 20–24 strips.
