If you’re tired of the same ground beef recipes and chicken recipes night after night, salmon is a great way to change things up. And this collection of 20 keto easy salmon recipes is here to help you.
Picking the Right Salmon
These days, at the fish counter, you’re more likely to see various salmon options, whether it’s wild or farmed, and whether it’s fresh, frozen, or smoked. Here’s how to choose the best salmon:
- Fresh salmon should be bright and juicy, not brownish, and smell like the sea rather than fishy.
- Frozen salmon should not be avoided. It may taste fresher than the fish behind the counter if it’s vacuum-sealed and the label says it was flash-frozen shortly after harvest.
If you wish to buy a whole fish, make sure the eyes are bright and clear and the skin is wet.
Your local grocer or fish market is the most fantastic location to get salmon. They will have the freshest seafood and the most excellent quality and be the most informed about the items offered.
Is Salmon Keto?
Yes, Salmon is Keto-friendly! Actually, salmon is a fantastic addition to any diet since it is high in protein and potassium, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Just be careful about how you cook it. Sugars are usually used in traditional marinades and sauces. There’s no need to be concerned about this collection because all of the salmon dishes are Keto-friendly!
How Much Salmon To Eat?
A proper serving size for salmon is 3- 4 ounces (85-114g) that provide around 200 calories and zero net carbs.
