Description

Craving a keto-friendly dinner that’s both satisfying and low-carb? This garlic butter salmon with sautéed spinach is a quick, delicious, and nutrient-packed option for your next meal!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges for garnish
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet, skin side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes until crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Stir in the lemon juice, then add the spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  • Serve the salmon over the spinach, drizzling any extra garlic butter from the skillet on top. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Pair with a side of cauliflower rice for extra fiber while staying low-carb.
  • Make sure to use fresh spinach for the best flavor.
