Keto Garlic Butter Salmon | Easy, Healthy, &amp; Low Carb

salmon

Tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper

Cup (250 milliliters) heavy cream

Tbsp butter

Cloves of garlic, minced

Cups (100 grams) fresh spinach

Just under ½ cup (40 grams) parmesan cheese

Vegetable (or chicken) Bouillon Cube

Lemon

parsley

Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels.

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Season salmon with salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Sear in the hot skillet (flesh-side down first) for 3-5 minutes on each side. Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.

Melt the 3 tbsps. of butter in the same skillet. Sauté minced garlic and then add fresh spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Add the boullion cube to the cream and let it simmer again (add water if necessary, if you like the sauce to be thinner).

Add the parmesan cheese and allow sauce to gently simmer for a another minute or so until the cheese melts and sauce thickens.

Add the salmon back into the pan, cover it with the sauce, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Delicious! 
Probably wouldn’t bother with the bullion (sodium level), but other than that huge thumbs up from my boyfriend.

This was delicious!! For the buillion cube, I used "better than buillion" chicken flavor. They only change I made was added complete seasoning to the fish and the cream sauce. As a side I made lemon/sazon flavored cauliflower rice. I will definitely be using this recipe again!!! Thank you!

Exactly my thoughts too! So easy yet so tasty!!!

This was so easy to make and so good Joe. Bless your souls for making these recipes for us to try!!

This was so rich and delicious, and came together really fast! I would pull back on adding salt to the sauce next time but other than that I followed it as is. Thank you!

OMG. Was looking for a new salmon recipe and I made this for dinner tonight. My husband said it was “restaurant quality “, I have to agree. 
This sauce is amazing.  I paired it with some cabbage and the cheddar biscuits. 

I agree with previous review on pulling back on the salt but otherwise it is perfect. 

Thanks Joe, I will definitely be making more of your recipes.

Wow!  This salmon was soooo good and so quick and easy. My husband and son raved about it. It will definitely go onto the regular weeknight dinner rotation. The ingredients are things I’ve pretty much always got on hand and only one pot to wash for the win!

My son &amp; I loved it! Is definitely on my do again list! It was way easier to make than I thought. Didn’t have any spinach…but was still delicious, thanks for sharing.

This is excellent recipe. Planning to make  it  again tomorrow .
 One of my favorite keto recipes online.

This is so delicious, as I was making it just for myself, I cooked two salmon darnes and some prawns, and reduced the recipe.  Had the second piece of salmon the following day, reheats well in the oven covered.  So tasty, I had it with cauliflower mash. Yum yum yum

This recipe was easy and SO delicious!! My husband loved it!!

Never normally bother to comment on recipes, but this is really, really good.
I will be making this again even when I'm not dieting.

I didn't add the parmesan, though.... cheese and fish? What kind of monster are you?!

I was a little dubious about using that much garlic but I needn't have been worried. This is super easy and delicious!!

I don’t normally comment or review things, but my wife and son loved this so much that I had to share. I heard restaurant quality and the best thing you’ve ever cooked about 6-7 times. FYI my son is 10 and he even enjoyed it! Thank you.

I am not much of a "cooker," but this was soooo easy and soooo tasty!! This recipe has me excited to cook other keto meals...so thank you!!!

Ball'n dish!!   Easy to make and great tasting.

If you've ever wondered how to cook salmon perfectly every single time, this pan seared salmon recipe is the answer. Not only does the salmon end up perfectly flakey and juicy with just the right amount of crispiness on the skin, but the entire process takes just 10 minutes. Yes, you read that right. In just 10 minutes you can make restaurant-quality salmon at home. And you only need a few simple ingredients to do it.

Perfect Pan Seared Salmon In 10 Minutes

Salmon

olive oil

lemon juice

Salt & Pepper

Coat the flesh side with a 1/2 tbsp of olive oil, and then sprinkle on a small amount of salt and pepper.

Next, flip the filet over so it’s skin side up, and coat in olive oil salt and pepper.

Set a pan over medium-low heat, and add around a 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to it. 

Heat the oil until it’s hot, and then add the salmon to it skin side down. Cook like this until 80% -of the fish has been cooked - around 7 minutes, or around 100°F.

Flip the fish over and cook it flesh side down until the remaining 20% fully cooks - around 2-3 minutes or 130°F.

Remove it from the heat, and let it rest skin side up for a couple of minutes before serving. The skin will keep the juices trapped inside the salmon as it cools.

Serve flesh side up, and top with lemon juice to taste.

Your recipe was so easy to follow and the salmon fillet turned out great. Thanks!

Without a doubt the best salmon recipe that I have made.

Turned out just like you said, perfect!!!

Actually the best salmon that I have made at home. It's delicious. Easier to make too than the majority of salmon recipes I've tried.

Thanks for putting this guide together, my salmon turned out great 😊

Loved it. The easiest salmon recipe that I have tried making to date.

Everyone you have to make this salmon! It was crazy easy and cooked the best I have ever had salmon cook.

Terrific. I highly suggest making this guys.

I actually can't get over how easy this was to make. It is the only time that I have cooked salmon that turns out like it would if I ordered it at a restaurant. I will without a doubt make this again.

Delicious! My 8 ounces was a little thick so I took the narrow end out of the skillet once it was done. Then I placed a lid over the rest for a couple minutes.

Keto Creamy Lemon Garlic Salmon Recipe

Salmon filets (skin on

kosher salt and pepper

Tablespoons avocado oil

Heavy cream

Lemon juice

Cloves garlic, minced

Tablespoons parsley

Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.

Add in the salmon filets skin side up. Cook until the salmon is browned and the fish easily releases from the pan.  Try not to flip early or the salmon will stick.

Flip to the other side (skin side if your salmon has skin) and cook until the salmon skin is crispy and releases from the pan.

Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside.

Turn the heat of the skillet down to medium and whisk together the heavy cream, garlic, parsley and lemon juice. Let simmer for a few minutes to thicken.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the salmon with cream sauce and chopped parsley. If you want your salmon skin to stay crispy, serve the sauce on the side.
