Instructions

1. Step 1: Place salmon fillets skin-side down in a skillet. Season with 1/4 tsp sea salt and pinch of black pepper. Heat 1 tsp avocado oil over medium heat and cook salmon for 4-5 minutes until skin is crisp, then flip and cook 3-4 minutes more until opaque.
2. Step 2: While salmon cooks, steam broccoli florets in a steamer basket over simmering water for 5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp coconut aminos, 1/2 tsp tamarind paste, and 1 minced garlic clove. Heat the mixture in a small pan over medium-low for 1 minute until slightly thickened.
4. Step 4: Drizzle glaze over salmon and sprinkle with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed broccoli.
