Description
A delicious Keto Salmon Recipe with a creamy garlic sauce, perfect for a delightful dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
- Carefully flip the salmon fillets and add the butter to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, then add the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Return the salmon to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider marinating the salmon in lemon juice and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Serve with keto-friendly sides like celery sticks, cucumber slices, or pork rinds for a satisfying meal.
