Keto lemon garlic butter salmon with almonds and chili

Keto lemon garlic butter salmon with almonds and chili

This vibrant keto meal is perfectly balanced with sharp notes of freshness and chili counterbalanced by a bed of rich, creamy cauliflower mash. A wonderful composition of soft succulent salmon topped with a satisfying crunch. Quick and easy to make, yet so impressively tasteful.

    Really delicious - made a few changes:
    I melted butter at heat setting 5-6 out of 9, but didn't remove solids, just lowered the heat to make sure it didn't burn.
    I cooked the chili in the butter with garlic and almonds, and cooked until lightly browned. I just used raw whole almonds and chopped them, as I didn't have sliced almonds (I think this gives it a more chunky feeling, which we liked, as otherwise, everything would be really soft).
    I didn't add the butter mix to the salmon in the oven, but just dripped juice of ½ a lemon on the salmon, with salt and pepper, and then I just kept the butter warm on the side, and served at the end (I was afraid it would get burned in the oven, as I didn't remove the solids).
    I made the cauliflower mash quite chunky just using a hand mixer, as we like this the best.
    Will make again :-)

    Just made this tonight. It was delicious. We eat fish because it's good for us not because we particularly love it. But this recipe made us forget we were eating fish 😊

    Hello Diet Doctor Folks!

    I have a question about adjusting portions. If I am eating about three ounces of salmon, which seems like it would be about half the usual serving size if I'm doing the math right, should I also reduce the mash by half to maintain macros? This is actually a general question related to other complete meal recipes. Thank you!

    If you halve all of the ingredients, yes, that will halve all of the macro numbers. It's not necessary to halve the other ingredients if you don't want to though. The important thing to keep an eye on is the carbohydrate count.
