Ingredients
  • 2 6-ounce Salmon fillets
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black pepper

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the Salmon

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.

Make the Lemon-Dill Sauce

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the chopped dill and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.

Bake the Salmon

Pour the lemon-dill sauce over the salmon fillets. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Serve

Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with extra fresh dill, if desired. Serve with a side of steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.

Other Important Considerations for Nutrition

Remember to adjust portion sizes to meet your individual macro goals. Consider the source of your salmon; wild-caught salmon is generally higher in omega-3 fatty acids. If you're sensitive to dairy, you can try using coconut cream as a substitute for heavy cream, although it will slightly alter the flavor profile.
