- pinch of sea salt & pepper
- 1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil
- 4 pieces baby bok choy, sliced in half

Steps
Step 1
Place microwaveable bag of cauliflower florets in the microwave and cook according to instructions given. Note: if you DO NOT want to use a microwave, simply bring a pot of water to a boil, add the cauliflower and boil until soft.
Step 2
Lightly spray salmon with avocado oil, then season with Sea blend, smoked paprika and sea salt & pepper. Rub it all over the salmon. Set aside.
Step 3
Set a skillet on medium high heat. Once hot, add tablespoon of oil. Place the salmon in the skillet, skin side up, and sear for about 2 minutes, then flip over and continue cooking for about 2 more minutes.
Step 4
Once the salmon is nearly cooked through (you can tell by looking at the side of the salmon), add the bok choy to the skillet, sliced side down. As it cooks, squeeze in fresh lemon juice to help caramelize and wilt it. Cook for about 3 minutes, then remove everything from the heat.
Step 5
Add the steamed cauliflower to a bowl, add butter, Everyday seasoning and sea salt & pepper. Mash with a potato masher, fork or an immersion blender like the one I used. Season to taste with sea salt & pepper.
Step 6
Garnish and enjoy the meal – great for lunch or an evening dinner!
