This one-pot recipe makes use of delicious pale winter vegetables and provides a comfort-food that we all love! This can be made AIP with a few adjustments in seasonings.
In the bottom of a large saucepan over medium heat, melt bacon fat or chop bacon into 1/2 inch slices and cook until crispy.
While the bacon cooks, cut cauliflower into 1/2-inch pieces, peel and cut celery root into 1/2 inch cubes, cut carrots and celery stalks into small pieces and add to bacon fat and optional bacon, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula occasionally to prevent burning.
Cut both ends off the leek, rinse, and cut the white and light green part into thin rounds. Add to the vegetable mixture.
After all the vegetables are chopped, add stock, coconut milk, sea salt, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until cauliflower is easily pierced with a fork.
Add salmon and cook for another 10-15 minutes, covered, or until salmon is cooked through and can be flaked easily with a fork. Break up salmon.
Serve, topping with the leaves of fresh thyme.
