Salmon & Spring Vegetable Curry

Time for spring cleaning of your home—and MIND. This lively and fulfilling spring veggie curry and salmon dish will make your taste buds want to dance while effectively washing anxiety and depression out.

Salmon is coated in Vitamin D, one of the main brain foods needed to make serotonin—the hormone responsible for happiness, mood, hunger, sleep, etc. 

Vitamin D literally helps your body and mind bloom, so make sure to give your body the drops of sunshine it needs!

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 3 tbsp. coconut oil
• 8-12 oz. of wild-caught Pacific or Alaskan salmon
• 1 onion, peeled and diced
• 1 tbsp. curry powder
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• ½ cup snow peas
• 1 bunch asparagus
• 2 cups garbanzo beans, cooked or canned
• 1 15oz can of unsweetened coconut milk (I recommend the Native Forest brand)
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 2 bunches of any type of greens, washed and cut (kale, bok choy, escarole, collards, turnip greens, etc.)
• Sea salt (Celtic Grey, Himalayan, or Redmond Real Salt) and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro for garnish
  
  

Directions

1. Sauté the salmon in 1 tbsp. coconut oil and set aside once cooked to your preferred doneness.
2. Meanwhile, in a large pot, heat 2 tbsp. coconut oil and sauté onions and curry spices until the onions are soft (about 6 to 8 minutes).
3. Add the vegetables, beans, and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer and add the vegetable broth. Simmer until the veggies are tender (about 15 minutes), and then add the greens.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Garnish with cilantro.
6. Optional: Serve with one of my favorite carbs. Check out the full list via this blog post.

Obviously, eating quality fish and veggies is essential for a happy mind and body, but you can’t rely on food alone. In our horrifically toxic world, our bodies and minds are constantly working overtime just to function at baseline. 

THIS is why you MUST supplement, but make sure you are taking the best. For example, you could be taking dozens of vitamin D capsules, but if your body does NOT absorb them, then it’s just a waste of money and time. 

This is why I created a liquid version that synergically uses Acid Kicking Vitamin D3 + K2 for maximum bioavailability—the scientific way of saying the most effective way for your body to ABSORB all the benefits of Vitamin D.

Working with tens of thousands of clients over the years, I have found that people “took vitamin D” in their multivitamin, but their body did NOT absorb it. Therefore, their low levels were continuing to drop their mood and sending their body into scavenger mode for “boosts,” which usually resulted in sugar, alcohol, or other unhealthy options.

Therefore, finally, give your body Vitamin D in a way it can absorb. Put a bottle of Acid Kicking Vitamin D3 + K2 in your home, office, and car so it’s always available wherever!
