This sage rubbed salmon is the perfect keto dish. It’s nutritious, delicious, packed with healthy fats, and is easy to cook. If you’re looking for a go-to, keto-friendly salmon dish, this one is worth a look.
Getting a good dose of healthy fats into your diet is important, and salmon is one of the easiest ways to ensure you do. Salmon contains omega-3 fatty acids that have been shown to boost heart health and brain function. Salmon also has the added benefit of tasting amazing—especially when covered in tasty herbs and spices.
We’ve kept this recipe simple. All you need to do is rub the salmon in our herb mix and sear it in a pan before finishing it off in the oven. The star herb in this dish is sage. Sage prevents inflammation, aids digestion, and also has the benefit of tasting amazing.
Once the salmon is cooked, take it out of the oven and plate it up. Since the salmon was seared before being placed in, the oven the skin should be nice and crispy which adds another element to the dish. The salmon is served with cabbage and onion, which you can either fry in the pan or serve raw on the side. Either way, the cabbage beautifully compliments the salmon and the sage sauce.
All that’s left to do now is to enjoy your meal!
