Keto Salmon with Dill Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (each about 6 ounces)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

Equipment:

• Large skillet
• Spatula

Instructions:

1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil.
2. Season the salmon fillets with dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Carefully place the salmon fillets in the preheated skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy.
4. While the salmon is cooking, whisk together the white wine (or chicken broth), heavy cream, lemon juice, and chopped fresh dill (or dried dill) in a small bowl.
5. Once the salmon skin is crispy, carefully flip the fillets and pour the dill sauce over the salmon.
6. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Serve the salmon immediately, spooning the flavorful dill sauce over the top. Enjoy with your favorite keto-friendly side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or cauliflower rice.
