This gluten-free recipe is a light and flavorful dish that combines perfectly grilled salmon with the freshness of lemon and thyme. Served on a bed of cauliflower rice and accompanied by grilled zucchini, it's a healthy and satisfying meal for any occasion.
Ingredients: 4 salmon fillets. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 medium head of cauliflower, grated into rice-like texture. 2 zucchinis, sliced into thin rounds. 1 tablespoon olive oil for zucchini. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for zucchini. Lemon wedges for serving.
Instructions: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Place salmon fillets on a plate and brush the lemony thyme mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets. Let them marinate for 10 minutes. While the salmon is marinating, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the grated cauliflower. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and slightly golden. Set aside. In a separate bowl, toss the zucchini rounds with olive oil and garlic powder. Grill the marinated salmon fillets for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness. During the last 3 minutes of grilling the salmon, place the zucchini rounds on the grill and cook for about 1-2 minutes per side or until they have grill marks and are tender. Serve the grilled salmon on a bed of cauliflower rice and arrange the grilled zucchini alongside. Garnish with lemon wedges and additional fresh thyme leaves, if desired.
