Creamy salads are hearty and comforting, but the recipes are often heavy on dairy, an ingredient that many of us do not tolerate very well. This salad incorporates the lactose-free, but still luscious flavor of ghee, or clarified butter, often used in Indian cooking. Along with the delicious, health-boosting fat from the ghee, this recipe also maximizes the precious omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon as well as the energy-boosting and fat-burning MCT oils. They are simply, good fats!
The key to preserving these vital nutrients is in the method of cold poaching rather than using high heat. Not only is it a healthier way to prepare your fish nutrition-wise, but you are less likely to overcook it; as a result, the fish remains buttery, delicate and flaky.
