If you’ve cooked fish wrapped in parchment paper before, which gently steams the fish and keeps the flesh moist, this recipe will make total sense. But in this case, instead of parchment, the wrapper is edible, nutritious and delicious.

Ingredients
Scale
- 2 6-ounce salmon fillets, skin and bones removed (170 g each)
- 2 sheets nori
- 2 tsp plus 2 Tbsp coconut aminos, divided (10 ml + 30 ml)
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, or cold pressed high-oleic/high-stearic sunflower oil, or coconut oil (15 ml)
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, cut into ¾-inch slices (230 g)
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 bunch mustard greens, stems removed and leaves ripped into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 ºF/232 ºC.
- Place each piece of salmon on a sheet of nori. Lightly salt the salmon and drizzle 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of coconut aminos on each fillet. Wrap the salmon in the nori like a package: fold one long end over the salmon then fold in the two shorter sides. Roll the piece of salmon over and tuck the remaining long end under the salmon. Set on an oiled or parchment covered baking sheet, seam side down. (You don’t need to wet the nori; it will adhere to the salmon while it cooks.)
- Roast 10 minutes for a ¾-inch/19 mm (or smaller) fillet and 12 minutes for a 1-inch/2.5 cm (or slightly thicker) fillet.
- While the salmon roasts, warm oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shiitakes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring just a few times until lightly browned and soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add mustard greens to the skillet with the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 ml) coconut aminos. Saute, stirring as needed, until the greens are wilted.
- Slice the salmon package open and serve on a bed of sautéed greens and mushrooms.
