Oven Baked Salmon with Caul-Rice

Yay, time for my first recipe! I cooked this for the first time last week and it was so good I made it again last night for my boyfriend. He doesn't Paleo or Zone (he tried for about a week but couldn't give up the wine) but he loved it just the same.

Note: C = Carbs, P = Protein, F = Fat. So 1C is 1 block of carbs (9g), 1P is 1 block of Protein (7g), 1F is one block of fat (1.5g).

Oven Baked Salmon with Caul-Rice
Zone: 3 blocks
Ingredients:
135g salmon (3P) - this is about one fillet
47g carrot (1/2 C)
64g green beans (1/2C)
45g onion (1/2C)
255g cauiflower (1.5C)
2 or 3 cloves of garlic
1tsp oliv oil (3F)
Cummin
Vegeta (for flavour, not Paleo!)

*The first time I made this as a 2 block meal, I just cut out the onion and 1/2 block caul (85g) and took 45g off the salmon and saved it for my salad the next day.
  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees
  • Chop cauliflower quite small, put in a microwave safe bowl, cover and put on high for 3 mins
  • Chop up the carrot and beans into "pea" sized chunks, put in another bowl and microwave for 2 or 3 mins to soften
  • Put foil on an oven tray, spray with olive oil, place salmon (can put a bit of salt & pepper on for taste) and put in oven. Set timer for 14 mins
  • Mash up the cauliflower with a potato masher until it is a similar consistency to rice
  • Heat oil in pan and cook onion and garlic for a few mins until the onion starts to go see-through
  • Add carrot and beans and cook until you have 4 mins to go on the salmon
  • Add in the mashed cauliflower. Add the cummin, and some salt and pepper for taste if you want. I like to add a teaspoon of Vegeta for flavour but that's not strictly Paleo!
  • Cook and stir, when salmon is done - serve.
