Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Combine the cucumbers, vinegar and sesame seeds in a medium bowl and add a few sprays of Bragg Liquid Aminos. Mix well, adjust seasoning and set aside. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and sauté the mushrooms and garlic for 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are soft, about 4 minutes. Set aside. Place tip halves of the asparagus to the side and combine the remaining asparagus and the broccoli in a bowl. Place herbs in cheesecloth in ½ inch of water in a large pan and stir in ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a small baking tray with foil and place the salmon pieces on top. Mix the oil, lemon juice, garlic, chopped herb of choice and ¼ teaspoon salt and spread over salmon pieces. Bake 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, heat the water with the herbs in cheesecloth to boiling. Add the broccoli mixture, cover and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until the vegetables are almost crisp-tender. Add the asparagus tips, cover and cook 1 to 2 minutes, until crisp-tender. Remove the herbs, drain the vegetables and add to mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
Step 4
Arrange a quarter of the mushroom mixture in the center of each of 4 dinner plates, cover with the cucumber mixture and top with a piece of salmon. Sprinkle with pine nuts. Serve immediately.
