Sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons coconut sugar
Divide the sugar into 2 equal portions
brown sugar or raw cane sugar
Salmon
10oz (wild) salmon, center cut
I used 5oz filets

Set oven to 350F / 177C.

Step 2
Mix together the ingredients for the sauce, using only 1/2 of the measured coconut sugar, and set aside. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Lightly spray with oil then sprinkle on sea salt & pepper.

Step 3
Set a stainless steel, cast iron, or carbon steel pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil and then add the salmon skin-side UP.

Sear in the skillet for about 3 minutes, or until the salmon easily lifts off the skillet. Then flip the salmon over.

Remove the skillet from the heat and rub on sauce on top of the salmon. Then sprinkle the remaining coconut sugar on top.

Bake for 3 – 6 minutes in the oven, or until you reach your desired level of doneness.

Cream
1 1/2 cups 2% cottage cheese
1 1/2 cups almond milk (or banana milk)
1 banana*
Note: you can omit 1 banana if you use bananamilk instead of almondmilk – this will reduce the carb count

Set a nonstick skillet on medium high heat. Once hot, spray and add banana slices.

To a jar or container, add a tablespoon of granola on bottom, top with candied bananas and add the oats on top. Sprinkle with cinnamon (or your favorite spice), then cover/close and place in the fridge overnight or at least 4 hours.

Step 6
You may need to add some more milk (or water) to it in the AM if it is too thick. Enjoy!
