Ingredients:

  • 12- ounces (340 g) total of carrot, slender daikon and mini-cucumber, trimmed, (carrot and daikon peeled) and sliced crosswise thinly (1/8-inch/3 mm thin)
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus extra
  • 4, 4 to 5- ounce (115 g to 140 g) salmon filets
  • 3 ½ tablespoons Garlic-Infused Oil, made with vegetable oil, or purchased equivalent, divided
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • A few drops of low FODMAP hot sauce such as Tabasco or Texas Pete
  • ¼ cup (16 g) thinly chopped scallions, green parts only
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
  • Cooked brown rice, hot

Preparation:

  1. Position rack in middle of oven. Preheat oven to 250°F/121°C. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place thinly sliced veggies in a non-reactive colander set in the sink and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, making sure they are evenly salted (I like to massage the salt in with my hands). Allow to sit for 20 minutes while oven preheats and you begin to cook salmon.
  3. Meanwhile, place the salmon skin side down on prepared sheet pan. Brush with about 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Slow roast for about 20 minutes or until just cooked through.
  4. While salmon is cooking, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper in a non-reactive bowl until sugar dissolves. Add the vegetables, remaining oil, scallions and cilantro and stir together well. Allow to sit while salmon is in the oven.
  5. When salmon is done serve with hot brown rice and quick pickles. Extra pickles can be refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Tips

  • If all you can find is larger, seedier conventional cucumbers you can still make this dish. Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds, then cut into half-moon shapes.
