A simple recipe for flavorful salmon cooked in a rich garlic butter sauce, perfect for a quick, low-carb, ketogenic meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried parsley, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spoon the garlic butter mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius). Cooking time depends on the thickness of the fillets.
  6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For pan-searing, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, add garlic, cook for 30 seconds, then sear salmon skin-side down for 4-5 minutes before flipping and cooking for another 3-5 minutes.
  • Asparagus or steamed broccoli make excellent low-carb side dishes.
  • You can substitute dried parsley with 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme or dill for a different flavor profile.
