Quick, healthy and utterly delicious, this throw together meal is certainly worth a try. Easily converted into a veggie option by removing the salmon and adding extra cauli, or turning it into a wonderfully delicious vegan meal by using a coconut yogurt and adding a few toasted almonds for protein. Another example of how this beautiful marinade has legs.
