You’ll really enjoy making this low sodium Keto salmon recipe for a family or your weekly meal prep. You won’t even notice that there’s little to no salt in the recipe because it’s so flavorful! This all-in-one meal is made in one skillet. Fresh salmon fillets are cooked with the skin on along with a buttery dijon marinade.

How is this a low sodium Keto recipe?

Instead of adding salt directly to the recipe, you’ll flavor the dish with other ingredients. Your marinade is made with dijon mustard, which already has a small amount of sodium in it. The marinade is so flavorful, it’s unnecessary to season the fish. Depending on your dietary needs, there is the option to salt and pepper your salmon skillet to taste. Make sure you’re using unsalted butter in the recipe as well!

Go dairy-free

You can eliminate the dairy from the recipe in a few easy steps. Instead of using butter in your salmon marinade, substitute it with extra virgin olive oil. You can also replace the butter used in step 6 with regular olive oil. Cooking the vegetables in the skillet should naturally deglaze any seasoning stuck to the bottom. Finally, omit the heavy cream and just use almond milk in your skillet. You can thicken the almond milk with low-carb tapioca flour.

Meal prepping the recipe

To meal prep this low sodium salmon skillet, you should have one salmon filet per meal prep container. Subtract the weight of the filet from the total weight of one serving to determine how much of the creamy mushrooms and asparagus you should add. Remember that these weights are approximate, and your serving could differ by a few grams.
