Ingredients

  • 1 pound beets (mix red and gold for colorful pasta)

  • 2 6-oz. salmon fillets, preferably wild-caught

  • 1 Tbsp. coconut oil

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 3 cups cauliflower florets

  • 1/3 cup lemon juice

  • 1 ½ tablespoon lemon zest

  • 1 cup canned coconut milk

  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp. paprika

  • 1/2 tsp. mustard powder

  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

  • 1 tsp. cumin

Directions

  • Remove the beet greens and cut the beets down to a size that fits into the Veggetti. Slice the beets into “pasta” strands. Boil for 20 minutes until soft.
  • Preheat oven to 250°.
  • Melt the coconut oil in a medium skillet, then sauté the onion and garlic cloves for 4-6 minutes in coconut oil in a medium pan.
  • Steam cauliflower until tender ( usually 5-7 minutes), then put in blender or food processor along with the garlic, onions, cumin, lemon juice and zest, coconut milk, pepper and salt. Process until smooth.
  • Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil or coat with non-stick spray.
  • Mix the mustard powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and salt and sprinkle it over the raw salmon.
  • Place the salmon on the treated cookie sheet and bake until the salmon is done (8-10 minutes, depending on thickness of the fillets).
  • Pour the spicy cauliflower sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a quick boil.
  • To serve, divide “pasta” onto two plates, cover with sauce and top with salmon pieces.
