Salmon with Wasabi Sauce

I’ve never had a great relationship with seafood. In fact, for most of my life, sushi was the only way I’d eat it. Ideally, a roll with cream cheese, avocado, and lots of sauce to mask the flavor. Well, I branched out a bit after taking on the autoimmune protocol, considering that seafood is one of the best sources of B vitamins and omega-3 fats. This Salmon with Wasabi Sauce is a throwback to my sushi days, a rich and hearty dish that packs some punch. If you can’t find AIP-friendly wasabi and haven’t done reintroductions yet, you can substitute it with AIP-friendly horseradish or even some fresh ginger.
