Finally my son likes salmon and so I happily make it just about every week. Salmon is a healthy low carb protein and it tastes great simply broiled in the oven. However below I have 7 tasty salmon dinner recipes that really amps up the flavor. I have everything from grilled to brined to baked salmon recipes.  All have minimal ingredients, are low carb and very easy to make. Let’s check them out.

The healthy benefits of salmon

Seafood in general is a good type of food to incorporate into your diet and salmon is one of the best. Salmon is a fatty fish that is rich in omega-3’s so no need to take a supplement, eat salmon! It’s also an excellent source of protein, B vitamins, potassium and selenium.   I love it because it’s so tasty and versatile. Check out this article for more health benefits of salmon.

How to choose salmon in the store

  • King or chinook salmon has the highest fat content, omega-3s and a buttery texture.
  • Sockeye is a deep red color and higher in carotenoids. It’s an oiler fish.
  • Coho is milder in taste and lighter in color.
  • Pink salmon and chum are smaller fish and light in color. They are mostly used in canned salmon.
  • Wild salmon is better than farmed because they live in open oceans and have lower levels of toxins. 
  • Frozen salmon when properly defrosted overnight is a fine choice as most fresh fish is flash frozen.
  • Canned wild salmon is a great choice to always have on hand and more economical. Look for brands that have BPA-free cans. 
  • To learn more check out this article by Eating Well.

Now for our 7 tasty low carb salmon recipes!

As I mentioned above all of these recipes are easy and tasty. Salmon cooks so fast, you can make some of these salmon recipes in under 30 minutes! Let’s check them out.

There are lots of things you can make with left over salmon. Ways  my family like to eat it are:

  • the smoked salmon is excellent over cream cheese bagels or in this low carb cream cheese spread
  • try tossing it will pasta or replace the chicken in this recipe for  zucchini noodles with Alfredo sauce
  • mix with celery, green onions and mayo to make salmon salad
  • try it in a Thai collard green spring roll instead of shrimp

    We love salmon – even my (kinda picky) daughter – and we eat it A LOT! I’m delighted to find new recipes to try (and oh my goodness – that Chili Soy Salmon is especially calling my name)! Maybe even best of all, though – I really liked that you included such clever ideas for using up leftover salmon. Since I work from home, I’m often the one scouring the fridge for creative ways to reinvent last night’s leftovers for breakfast or lunch or snacks the next day, so I always appreciate a little help in coming up with ideas to keep leftovers interesting! 🙂
