INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR SUBSTITUTIONS:

HONEY:

BUTTER:
- Butter makes the sauce indulgent and silky texture. Alternate it with ghee, olive oil, or vegan butter.
GARLIC:
- We utilize garlic for its bold flavor and anti-inflammatory properties. As a replacement, you can use garlic powder or roasted garlic paste.
SWEET POTATOES:
- Sweet potatoes provide a delicious texture and healthy carbs. We can switch them out with cauliflower mash, pumpkin mash, or brown rice.
BROCCOLI:
- We use broccoli, as it is nutrient-rich and pairs perfectly with salmon. You can replace it with asparagus, green beans, or zucchini.
SOY SAUCE:
- Soy sauce provides a savory umami flavor to the dish. We can substitute it with tamari sauce or coconut aminos.
