Low Carb & Keto Mediterranean Salmon, an easy 20-minutes dinner that is perfect for the weeknights!

It’s Salmon night, and I am so excited! A couple weeks ago I tried adding a mediterranean flair to my salmon and was immediately obsessed. I mean, I’ve made this awesome Sheet Pan Mediterranean Cod before and a few mediterranean salad like this Instant Pot Mediterranean Potato Salad and this super-healthy Mediterranean Lentil Quinoa Salad but never had I tried on my salmon.

On any given week I make salmon 2-3 times. In all honesty kids are pretty sick of it but I still love it, even when it’s plain and simple. But this recipe had them (kids) all excited and the best part is, this recipe is just as quick as if I had made it plain because the salmon cooking time is standard.

I’ll get to the recipe in just a bit. First I want to give you a little bit of information about the different types of salmon to help you make a safer and informative choice when making a purchase.

Wild, Wild Caught or Farmed Raised

For the longest time I didn’t know the difference between wild and wild caught but there is definitely a reason why one is simply wild and the other wild caught. Let me break it down to you;

Wild salmon means the salmon lived its life entirely in the wild.

Wild caught salmon means it was caught in the wild but might have lived part of its life in fish tanks before going into the market.

Farmed salmon means the fish was raised in fish farms/ tanks.

There is a lot more into each of these categories such as their diet and how lean the fish is depending on its habitat and the quality of life but for now I’ll just leave it at that. This should give you some guidance when purchasing your salmon.

How To Make Mediterranean Salmon

First you’ll want to season the salmon really well. I used olive oil, sea salt, fresh pepper, lots of fresh pressed garlic and oregano which is an authentic mediterranean herb.

Wash and trim the fresh asparagus and bake alongside the salmon.

Meanwhile prepare the mediterranean salad topping. Feta, cucumbers, tomatoes and olives are key ingredients to make an authentic mediterranean dish.

I don’t find the need to season this salad topping because the salmon is flavorful enough. Also you can squeeze fresh lemon juice on top after serving.

This quick 20-minutes dinner is not only delicious and healthy but it is also low-carb and Keto!

I hope your family will enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
