Ingredients: 100% Pure Coconut! Nothing else! Buy it here!

Commercial coconut milks and creams are generally sold in cans, or sometimes boxes and tetra packs. The main ingredient in these products is water. If the fat content is 17%, it is called “coconut milk.” If the fat content is 24%, it is called “coconut cream.” But most of what you are purchasing is water. Coconut Cream Concentrate, on the other hand, has NO water, and is pure coconut. Unlike the commercial varieties, it also contains ALL the fiber of the coconut. Pure, dried coconut contains more fiber per gram than even oat bran! This fiber has been stripped out of commercial coconut milks and coconut creams. Also, almost all commercial coconut milks and creams have additives to prevent the water from separating from the coconut oil, and also have sulfites added to keep it white longer. Sometimes these additives are so small, that the FDA does not require them to list them on their labels as ingredients. Coconut Cream Concentrate, however, contains NO additives and NO preservatives at all: it is 100% natural coconut made from Philippine coconuts grown without pesticides or fertilizers.

Servings: 4 servings
Preparation Time: 30 minutes

In a small bowl, combine honey, orange juice, coconut water, balsamic vinegar, ginger and cilantro. In a large skillet (or other preferred cooking method), heat coconut oil over medium heat.

Place salmon filets in skillet and sprinkle both sides with a little salt and pepper. Pour honey ginger mixture over salmon and continue to sear until both sides of the fish are starting to brown. I usually cook mine about 6 minutes per side, depending on how thick the salmon is.
