1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 Tbsp ghee or avocado oil or olive oil

6 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoons arrowroot flour or tapioca

Season the salmon liberally on both sides with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, ad the onion and garlic powder.
Heat a large non stick skillet over medium high heat and add a tablespoon of the oil or ghee. Once hot, place the salmon in the skillet flesh side down, and cook about 4 minutes on the first side, flip, and cook another 3 minutes or until cooked to preference. Using tongs, remove to a plate and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium/medium low and add the remaining oil or ghee. Add the onion and cook a minute until soft and fragrant, then add in the garlic and cook another 45 seconds to soften.
Whisk the tapioca or arrowroot into the garlic and onions, the slowly pour in the broth white whisking, then the coconut milk. Stir to combine, then stir in the mustard, nutritional yeast, Italian seasoning, sea salt and black pepper.
Cook and stir over medium-high heat until it starts to thicken - about one minute.
