Notes
1.2g net carbs per salmon fillet with garlic, 0.2g net carbs each without garlic. Recipe makes 2 portions.
*** Do not move the salmon while it is cooking. Also, take care not to overcook the fillets or they will become dry and rubbery. Salmon tastes best when the inside is still pink. It will continue to cook for 2-3 minutes after you take it off the heat.
Cooking times will vary slightly depending on the thickness and size of the salmon fillets.
Serve with a green salad, broccoli, green beans, cauliflower rice or mashed cauliflower.
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Alternatively, freeze for up to 3 months.Nutrition
