CLEANSE

1 lb wild-caught salmon

3 tbsp olive oil, divided

Juice and zest of 1 lime

1 tsp chipotle powder

1 tsp Himalayan pink salt, divided

1 bunch kale, stems removed, chopped

Juice of ½ lemon

½ avocado, sliced

1   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Drizzle the salmon with 2 tablespoons oil and lime juice; sprinkle with lime zest, chipotle powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Place the salmon on the grill, skin side down, for 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked through.

2   In a large bowl, combine the kale, lemon juice, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil and ½ teaspoon salt. Using your hands, massage the kale thoroughly until it becomes soft.

3   Cut the salmon into the desired number of pieces and serve over the kale, topped with avocado slices.

tip

If you don’t have a grill, you can broil the salmon. Preheat the broiler to medium, and position an oven rack 3 to 4 inches from the heat source. Place the salmon skin side down in a shallow baking dish and drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and lime juice; sprinkle with lime zest, chipotle powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Broil for 6 to 8 minutes, basting with the remaining marinade once or twice during cooking.
