Salmon happens to be my favorite fish so I usually try have some at least once a week. It’s easy to cook and makes a healthy and delicious choice when you’re craving something lighter. Plus, it’s packed with protein and healthy Omega’3 fatty acids.

This healthy Keto Salmon Salad is packed with a ton of our favorite ingredients – mixed greens, Canadian bacon, hard boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and avocado.

HOW TO MAKE THIS KETO SALMON SALAD:

  • Start off by seasoning the salmon with salt, pepper and drizzle with olive oil and lemon.
  • You can make the hard boiled eggs while your salmon is cooking or prep them ahead of time the night before. I usually like to make a large batch using this method to keep on hand during the week for breakfast or to add to my salads.
  • Cook and crumble the bacon then grill, bake or pan fry the salmon.
  • Prepare and assemble the remaining salad ingredients starting with the lettuce plus any other greens you like. Add eggs, grape tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, crumbled bacon and feta.
  • Add any other toppings you like then drizzle with the simple vinaigrette right before serving

HOW CAN I CUSTOMIZE THIS KETO SALMON SALAD?

  • Swap in your favorite vegetables or cheese
  • For a Whole 30 and Paleo friendly option – leave out the cheese & swap the sour cream in the vinaigrette with tahini or mashed avocado instead.

 

MAKE AHEAD TIPS:

  • Season the salmon the night before and store in the fridge in an airtight container or zip-top bag.
  • Whisk together the dressing the night before and store in a sealed jar in the fridge.
  • Wash and dry the lettuce and mixed greens and store in a large zip-top bag

Ingredients

  • 1 6-ounce salmon fillets
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 avocados , peeled pitted and cut into slices or chopped
  • 4 cups mixed green lettuce chopped
  • 2 hard boiled eggs peeled and sliced
  • 5 slices bacon cooked and chopped
  • 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cucumber sliced in rounds or chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta or blue cheese leave out for paleo or Whole 30

For the vinaigrette (or use your favorite low carb dressing)

  • 3-4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sour cream leave out for paleo or Whole 30 & swap in mashed avocado instead
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat salmon dry. Rub both sides with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

To Grill Salmon:

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 62 F. Use a fork to flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

To Broil Salmon:

  1. Heat broiler and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or foil). Place salmon on pan and broil 8 to 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Assemble the salad:

  1. Whisk together all the ingredients for the vinaigrette. Drizzle 1 teaspoon over the sliced avocado (to prevent from browning).
  2. In a large bowl, add the lettuce, then top with flaked salmon, eggs, avocado, bacon, tomatoes, cucumber and cheese. Drizzle with dressing right before serving.

  • 1 3-4 lb whole chicken 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 and 1/2 teaspoons sea salt 1 teaspoon pepper 2 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (leave out if sensitve to spice) 1 onion, halved optional 2 garlic cloves 1 lemon halved optional 1 cup chicken broth or water Instructions In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, basil and chili powder (if using). FOR THE INSTANT POT METHOD (THAWED CHICKEN): Carefully loosen the skin from the chicken breast with your hands lifting and separating the meat. Gently rub half of oil followed by half of the seasonings under the skin using your hands and fingers. Next, rub the outside skin of the chicken with another tablespoon of oil and the other third of the seasonings and rub in. Optional: place the onion, garlic cloves and lemon inside the cavity of the chicken. Press the SAUTE button HIGH and heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place the chicken - breast side down, and sear for 5-7 minutes, or until a golden brown. Using tongs and a spatula, flip chicken over and sear for another 5-6 minutes. Remove chicken and place on a large platter. Place the trivet (that came with the Instant Pot or use another) inside the inner pot of the Instant Pot. Pour water or chicken broth inside. Place chicken on top of trivet, breast side up. Cover and lock lid. Turn the valve to SEALING. Press the MANUAL or HIGH PRESSURE button and set to 24 minutes if your chicken is four pounds. If it's smaller or larger, calculate how much time it should cook by multiplying the number of pounds by 6 minutes. So, a 3 pound chicken would be 18 minutes and a five pound chicken would be 30. For a FROZEN WHOLE CHICKEN - set to 42 minutes ON HIGH for a 4 lb chicken. Allow the Instant Pot to come to pressure (this may take about 10-15 minutes). Once the 24 minutes is up and the Instant Pot beeps indicating the chicken is done, allow to naturally release for at least 15 minutes and then quick release for any extra pressure. Open lid and transfer chicken to a platter or a large cutting board. Optional: Broil in the oven for 4-5 minutes to crisp up the skin. Slice or shred and serve with your favorite sides. TO ROAST IN THE OVEN INSTEAD: Preheat oven to 450 F. Place chicken on an oven roaster and cook for approximately 30 minutes. Cover loosely with foil and cook for an additional 40-50minutes or until temperature reads 165 F. Recipe Notes Save your bones in a freezer bag until you're ready and you can make Chicken or bone broth.Instant Pot Rotisserie Chicken
