Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place 2 salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tsp avocado oil and season with 1/4 tsp sea salt.
  2. Step 2: Whisk 3 tbsp GT's Kombucha with 1/2 tsp dill and the zest of 1 lemon. Pour evenly over salmon, coating all sides.
  3. Step 3: Bake for 12 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork, basting once halfway through. The glaze should reduce to a glossy coating with a slight tang.
