🥑 Firecracker Salmon with Avocado Salsa

This is one of the most incredible salmon dishes you can make at home. It’s got an amazing firecracker sauce, and an avocado salsa that is out of this world! As always. It’s so easy, and so good

Here is how I made it:

1.Grab 1lb salmon filets. Pat dry. Season both with salt, pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp chili lime seasoning(like tajin), & 1/4 to 1/2 tsp chili or cayenne for a tiny kick kick.

2.Heat your pan over medium heat, add 1 tbsp oil, swirl to coat, & carefully lay the salmon fillets in, skin-side down.

3.Let salmon cook undisturbed for 3-4 mins to develop a golden, crispy skin. Once the edges start to turn opaque and it naturally releases from the pan, gently flip it over and cook for another 3-4 mins, or until cooked through. Instead of the stovetop, you can also airfry this at 400F for 12-14 mins.

4. For the sauce, grab a small bowl and mix 4 tbsp mayo, 1 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp honey or powdered monkfruit, and 1 tsp minced garlic.

5.For the avocado salsa, my favorite part, cube up 1.5 avocados, finely dice half a small red onion, add 4 tbsp super finely chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon finely chopped mint (optional but encouraged), the juice of 1 large lime, and couple generous pinches salt.

6.Plate up the salmon - as is, or with rice, quinoa, or my kaizen lowcarb rice, top it with the sauce, as much avocado salsa as you want, and sesame seeds.

Smashed Broccoli Chips

If you don't think you like broccoli, I promise you’re going to love these smashed broccoli chips. They’re perfect for dipping, they texture is amazing - light, crispy, and delicious. Pair them with either a premed sauce, or a simple creamy sriracha sauce below and you’ve got a fun veggie to work with. Here is how I made them: 
1️⃣ Boil 1.5-2 lbs of broccoli florets (larger ones are better for smashing!) in salted water for 6-6.5 mins. For smaller florets, boil 1 minute less. 2️⃣ When done, immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop cooking, then pat dry with a paper towel.
 3️⃣ Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add a thin layer of finely shredded Parmesan or pecorino cheese, place broccoli on top, and gently smash each one using the bottom of a cup or jar. 
4️⃣ Mix 5 tbsp avocado oil, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1 tsp Chile lime seasoning, 1 tsp smoked paprika in a small bowl. Then brush this over the smashed broccoli. 
5️⃣ Roast at 425°F for 25-30 mins (adjust based on your cr...

One pot chuck roast

If you’ve loved my previous chuck roast recipes, this one is even easier and more delicious. It takes just 10 minutes to prep and it cooks low and slow in the oven all in one pot. Its a perfect meal prep recipe and easy protein for so many meals. I use this for multiple recipes like these tacos, stuffed peppers, and soups.  Here is how to make it: 1.Preheat oven to 325F. 2.Add 3lbs chuck roast to an oven safe dish (with a lid, or you can cover it with foil). Add 1 thinly sliced yellow onion at the base with 4-5 minced garlic cloves. 3.Season both sides of beef with 3-4 generous pinches salt, pepper, 1 packet of taco seasoning. Rub well on all sides. 4.Pour in 17oz beef broth and add 2 chipotle adobo peppers (from the can). 5.Cover, then place in the oven at 325 F for 4hrs. If your chuck is more than 3lbs, aim for about an hour per pound + 1 hour. So if its 2 lbs go for 3 hrs, etc. 6.After 4hrs, remove from the oven, shred using two forks, mix well with the drippings, then put back ...
