We love this 25-minute salmon and cabbage dinner! The salmon is coated in coconut then pan-fried until crispy. It is served with curried coconut cabbage for a filling low-carb meal.

Cut the salmon into 2-inch pieces (about 20 pieces total). Place the coconut in a bowl and dip each piece of salmon into the coconut so that it is coated well on all sides.

Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the coconut milk, curry powder, turmeric, and salt and stir. Add the cabbage to the pan and mix it again. Cover the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is soft.
