About the Recipe
This delicious broth is a great example of eating nose to tail by using every part of an animal. It’s also turbo charged with nutrients: calcium, gelatin and collagen for bones and joints, vitamins and omega 3 for brain health, electrolytes for hydration, and iodine for thyroid. If you feel sick of the fishy smell, feel free to add more ginger with extra gut healing effect.
Ingredients
1 tbsp ghee or cooking oil
3-4 tbsp ginger, peeled and sliced

Preparation
Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp ghee over medium heat in a frying pan or directly in a large soup pot if there is enough space.

Sauté the ginger and onions for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add salmon, followed by 1 tsp dried herbs, salt and pepper.

Continue to cook for a few minutes until the salmon looks more cooked, then add mirin and coconut aminos. Cook for another minute. Transfer the contents into a soup pot if using frying pan.
Step 4
Turn the heat to low, add daikon and hot water, then simmer under low heat for about 3-4 hours until the bones disintegrate.
