Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season 4 salmon fillets with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until skin is crisp, then flip and cook 2 more minutes until just cooked through. Remove salmon and set aside.
- Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil to the skillet. Add 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 30 seconds until aromatic.
- Step 3: Add 3 halved baby bok choy and 2 julienned carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Step 4: Pour 3 tbsp coconut aminos over the vegetables, stirring well to coat, and cook an additional 1 minute until sauce slightly thickens.
- Step 5: Return salmon fillets to the pan, nestling them among the vegetables, and cook 1 minute to warm through.
- Step 6: Sprinkle 2 sliced green onions over the top and serve immediately for a bright, flavorful Whole30 seafood meal.
