Healthy Eating: Why Salmon is Great For Keto Diet

We all know that most kinds of seafood are keto-friendly. But if you are looking for seafood that is packed with protein and nutrients that can coincide with your keto diet routine, a salmon can be one of your best bets.

 This easy to prepare fish can be enjoyed just by adding a dash of salt, a little bit of olive oil, and a sprinkle of pepper to transform it into a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for your ketogenic diet program.

 It is also good to know that many kinds of seafood are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which is not only providing an impact on your overall health but is also creating an impact especially on the health of your cardiovascular system. And salmon is one of the best fish and seafood around that you can consume when you are on a keto diet. 

 Why is that? Salmon not only lowers the risk of heart disease and stroke, but it is also very helpful in reducing your triglyceride levels, lowering blood pressure, as well as raising HDL or good cholesterols. And eating salmon with vegetables can also optimize its health benefits.

 

Overall, a salmon is uber-healthy. Here is a simple recipe that you can try:

 Ingredients:

  •  1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • 6 ounce of salmon
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 4 lemon wedges

 

Preparation:

 Step 1: Stir altogether the garlic powder, basil, and salt in a small bowl; rub in equal amounts onto the salmon fillets.

 Step 2: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook the salmon in the butter until browned and flaky, about 5 minutes per side. 

 Step 3: Serve each piece of salmon with a lemon wedge and enjoy.

About Us

I started my Keto journey at the beginning of the Pandemic (June 2020) weighing in around 100 pounds over my goal weight and decided to go ahead and “try this keto” to see if I could make a difference. With light walking and “dirty” keto, I was able to quickly lose 60 pounds. Still on my weight-loss mission, I invite you to try new keto meals and snacks with me and to connect with me during my transition to a healthier me.
