One of the best parts of the paleo diet is the high amount of Omega-3 fatty acids you get in grass-fed beef and in seafood like this Paleo Maple Salmon!
Ingredients
- 8 – 6 oz. salmon fillets
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- 4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg

- ¼ cup gluten-free soy sauce
- ¼ to ½ cup grade-B maple syrup
Instructions
- Rinse and dry your salmon fillets.
- Rub each with a lemon wedge.
- Brush 2 teaspoons of oil onto the fleshy side of the salmon (to help the seasoning adhere).
- In a bowl, mix the nutmeg, cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, onion powder and black pepper together.
- Sprinkle each fillet with spice mix. Let sit covered in fridge for 1 hour.
- Heat skillet and coat bottom with 2 teaspoons of oil.
