Instructions
- In a food processor, blend the cashews, cilantro, 1 tablespoon (14 g) of coconut oil and salt, until even, green crumbles are formed.
- In a medium nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon (14 g) of coconut oil over high heat, then place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin side down. Immediately spread the cashew crumbles on top of the fillets, pressing them down onto the fish and creating a crust about 1⁄2 to 3⁄4 inch (1 to 2 cm) thick. Cover immediately with a tight-fitting lid and lower the heat to medium. Cook until the salmon is turning opaque all over, about 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and let sit for another minute.
- While the salmon is cooking, make the ponzu sauce by mixing the coconut aminos with the lime juice.
- Serve hot with a couple of tablespoons (30 ml) of ponzu sauce on top of the salmon

This was absolutely delicious however I did use tamari roasted almonds instead of the cashews as that’s what I had in the cupboard.
Will certainly be making it again.
