Directions

Directions
1

Preheat the oven to 300°F. Season the salmon generously with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the dill.

2

Preheat a cast-iron skillet or another oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet, then place the salmon in the pan, skin transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until the fish flakes and a thermometer reads 145°F when inserted in the thickest part of the fillet.

3

While the salmon is baking, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the spinach, onion, and celery and cook for 2 minutes, then add the cauliflower and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the garlic, remaining tablespoon of dill, and fish stock and simmer until the stock has evaporated and the cauliflower resembles rice, about 5 minutes.

4

Add the heavy cream and Parmesan to the risotto and stir until the cream has reduced by about three-quarters, about 2 minutes.

5

Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6

Divide the risotto among 4 plates and top each plate with a piece of keto salmon.

7

Store your leftover keto salmon and spinach risotto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
