Cooking Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with a pinch of salt. Bake for about 15 minutes for every inch thickness.
In a dry pan over medium heat, toast the chilies for about 3 minutes until they release their aromas. Remove the stem and shake out the seeds. Cover with 4 cups of warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes. Add chilies and water to a blender and puree.
In a large soup pot over medium heat, add the onions and garlic. Cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the oregano, cumin and carrots. Stir and cook another 2 minutes.
Add the quinoa, hominy and chili puree. Bring to a simmer, cover with lid and reduce heat to medium low. Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked.
Serve salon on top of a bowl of posole and top with some of the citrus salad.

Nutrition Facts
Raw food diets are based on the idea that cooking foods destroys nutrients. A benefit of this diet is that it encourages eating unprocessed fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and sprouted grains, which are all high in vitamins, minerals and fibre. A drawback to the raw diet is that it allows eating raw dairy foods, eggs, meat and fish, which could harm your body. The cooking process destroys harmful bacteria to keep your body safe.
Always cook your meats, fish and eggs to a safe temperature & consume pasteurized dairy foods to keep you safe from harmful bacteria. See the Government of Canada’s chart or Geremy’s blog for further information on safe cooking temperatures.
Eating fruits and vegetables raw is the best way to get certain nutrients such as vitamin C, which helps prevent cell damage. But some nutrients are more available when food is cooked. Cooking red and orange foods like tomatoes, chilies, carrots & squash releases lycopene & beta-carotene, nutrients that help to reduce the risk of some cancers. Cooking corn and dark green vegetables such as spinach releases lutein, a nutrient that maintains eye health.
