Keto Maple Glazed Salmon
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Oven/Skillet Preheat:Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) or pre-heat a cast iron skillet over-medium heat and this is to get even cooking.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together sugar-free maple syrup, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), melted butter and garlic until creamy. That forms a thick, flavourful crust.
- Season Salmon: Dry the salmon fillets with a paper towel. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and black pepper to taste in order to bring out the natural flavours.
- Cook Salmon: Arrange salmon fillets on the baking sheet or skillet. Cook for 8–10 minutes or if you like it soft then cook until half done.
- Glaze and Finish: Generously brush the fillets with the prepared glaze. Cook another 5 minutes or so, until caramelized and shiny.
- Serve: Top off with lemon wedges and chopped fresh parsley. Best when served immediately, in terms of texture and taste.
Notes
- Dabbing salmon dry yields a crisper sear.
- Don’t overcook; remove pan from the oven when salmon is flaky, but still moist.
- (Layer your tray with parchment paper for a hassle-free time cleaning up when you’re done.)
- Control sweetness and add more or less sugar-free syrup.
- Serve over cauliflower rice or with grilled veggies for a complete keto meal.
