Instructions

In a large non stick pan/ skillet heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Season salmon fillets with garlic powder, salt and ground black pepper on both sides. Once the pan is very hot, sear salmon for 5 minutes on each side or until it is cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep aside.
In the same pan/skillet cook the chopped garlic until fragrant, about 30-40 seconds. Add in the coconut cream, red chili flakes and coconut powder. Mix well.
Stir in almond flour, season with salt and pepper. Add green chili.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce simmer for another minute or until all the ingredients release their flavors and sauce thickens a little bit. Test the sauce and adjust the seasoning to your liking, if needed.
Return the salmon to the pan, top with charred lemon slices and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve with steamed broccoli, mashed potatoes, homemade pasta , jasmine rice or cauliflower rice.
