Prep: 20Cook: 17Total: 37
Servings: 4 1x
Ingredients
- 1 large carrot, peeled and cut in wedges
- 1 small cauliflower head, cut in medium florets
- 2/3 cup refined coconut oil, melted and divided
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 lb. salmon
- 4 springs thyme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Cut the carrots into wedges and the cauli into florets. Place in a large bowl.
- Place 1/3 of the coconut oil, pecans, agave, and sea salt into the food processor. Process for 10-30 seconds until combined and chunky.
- Pour the other 1/3 of the coconut oil over the veggies and toss to coat them.
- Scoop 2/3 of the pecan pesto onto the veggies and toss to coat them.
- Pour the veggies onto a lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast the veggies for 15 minutes.
- Nuzzle the salmon into the veggies and spread the remaining pecan pesto on top of the salmon.
- Roast for another 15 minutes and then broil on high for 2 minutes. If you want the veggies to really get charred or browned, I’d remove the salmon after the 2 minute broil, and continue to broil just the veggies for another 2 minutes.
