Salmon is one of the easiest fish to find in the store and to cook at home. Plus, salmon is packed with a ton of healthy fats as well as vitamins and minerals. So, if you’re looking for a nutritious Keto dinner, then give this easy recipe a try.

I served the garlic ghee baked salmon with a leek asparagus ginger saute, but you can also serve the salmon with a simple salad instead.

What’s great about this Keto salmon recipe is that it’s a complete meal that can be made from scratch in just 30 minutes. (You have time to make the saute while the salmon is cooking in the oven.)

Even if your family isn’t on the Ketogenic diet, you can still enjoy this dish – it’s also Paleo and AIP-friendly.

If you’re not 100% sold on fish dishes, then you will want to look at this list of yummy keto fish dishes.

Keto Lemon Garlic Ghee Salmon with Leek Asparagus Ginger Saute – Step-By-Step Instructions

Step 1:

Place each salmon filet on a piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper. (Defrost the salmon first if you’re using frozen salmon.)

Add in the ghee (use avocado oil or olive oil for AIP), freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, and a dash of salt on top of each salmon filet. Wrap the salmon up in the foil or paper and place into an oven preheated to 400F. Cook for 10 minutes, then open the foil up and cook the salmon for another 10 minutes.

Step 2:

While the salmon is cooking, make the saute. Add all the chopped leeks to a frying pan with olive oil or avocado oil in it.
