🧄🍋Creamy Lemon Garlic Salmon Ingredients For the Salmon: 12 oz Atlantic salmon 1 tbsp avocado oil 1/2 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/8 tsp salt 1/8 tsp dried parsley A pinch of black pepper For the Creamy Sauce: 2 tbsp unsalted butter 1/4 cup onion, chopped 3 large garlic cloves, minced Juice of 1 lemon 1/2 cup heavy cream 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese 1/2 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste) A pinch of black pepper For Garnish: Freshly chopped parsley Lemon slices Instructions 1. Marinate the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets very dry with a paper towel. In a bowl, toss them with the avocado oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, dried parsley, and pepper. Make sure the salmon is well-coated and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. 2. Prepare the Aromatics: While the salmon is marinating, finely chop the onion and garlic. Squeeze the juice from the lemon and set it aside. 3. Sear the Salmon: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side down and sear until the skin is super crispy. Flip it and cook the other side until it's done to your liking. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set it aside. 4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Sauté the onion and garlic with a pinch of salt and pepper until the onion is translucent. 5. Create the Creamy Base: Pour the fresh lemon juice and heavy cream into the skillet. When the mixture begins to warm up, stir in the Parmesan cheese to thicken and the paprika for color. Stir until the sauce is smooth and has thickened slightly. 6. Combine and Serve: Return the salmon fillets to the skillet with the sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon slices. Serve immediately over a bed of cauliflower rice for a delicious, low-carb, and sugar-free meal. Enjoy
