Baked Salmon with Creamy Dill Sauce – Keto and Low Carb

This salmon is super easy to make and perfect for a weeknight dinner!  I serve it with a quick homemade dill sauce that is creamy, but light.  I add capers to it, which gives it a nice briny/salty bite!  It’s packed with flavor and would also be great with any fish you like.  Give this one a try and you can have a healthy and tasty dinner in under 25 minutes!

Salmon is a great food for the Keto diet, it’s loaded with healthy Omega-3 fatty acids!  It’s incredibly good for cardiovascular system, cancer preventative, eyes, inflammation, hair and skin.  Plus it really tastes amazing and you can make it so many different ways!  I also have an Asian Glazed Salmon recipe that you can check out!

Ingredients

6 pieces of fresh salmon (about 2″ wide/4 ounces each)

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

Olive oil

Salt and Pepper to taste

For the Sauce

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1/3 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon dijon mustard

1 tablespoon capers, chopped

Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

To Make the Sauce

Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and allow to sit at room temperature while you make the salmon.

To Make the Salmon

Preheat oven to 400F.

Place the salmon on a wire rack, placed on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil (for easier cleanup).

Brush each piece with olive oil.

Sprinkle salt, pepper and dill over the tops.  Bake for 10 minutes.

Increase the temperature to 450F and bake for another 5-8 minutes.

Serve with a healthy dollop of the sauce over the top of the salmon, and garnish with some dill and capers.

Note: If you don’t have fresh dill, you can use about half the amount of dried dill weed instead.
