Where are all my fish lovers, are you one? Then you need to read this and make it as soon as possible. I love eating fish. But I wasn’t always a lover of fish.

Want to know a secret about me? Growing up as a kid, I hated fish. I don’t know what the problem was, I didn’t just want to see fish on a plate, I would reject it immediately if it was served to me.

The dislike for fish went on for a very long time. Until I met my husband. His love for fish is quite alarming. Well, he spent a lot of years in China. I’m thinking that’s the major cause of the “undying love for fish”.

I have a lot of low carb salmon recipes up my sleeve but today I will show you my Baked salmon and asparagus recipe. Have you ever had roasted salmon and asparagus? If you love eating fish but haven’t tasted keto baked salmon, you have been missing.

Do I really need to tell you how proteinous fish is? I’m sure you know this already so, I’ll move to the fun part where I show you my salmon and asparagus recipe.

The Art Of Baking Salmon And Asparagus

The first step to making my garlic butter salmon recipe is getting a baking sheet and spraying non-stick spray on it.

Next up, in the center of your already sprayed baking dish, place your salmon fillets. Make sure you space the salmon fillets, after doing this, get your trimmed asparagus and line it around the edges of the baking dish.

Get a bowl and create a garlic butter, to do this, melt butter into the bowl, add onion powder, parsley, and garlic. After getting your garlic butter ready, you’ll need to rub it all over the asparagus and salmon.

Is This Keto Salmon Marinade Healthy For Consumption?

Uhm, I have been having this salmon keto recipe with my family for a long time and none of us has visited the Doc. Basically, Salmon is very high in protein and is also a great source of getting some potassium in your body. If you are eating salmon you would also be having omega-3 acids (good for the brain) and B-vitamins (great for cell health).

And then the asparagus is another great source of nutrition. With this Salmon carb meal, it’s basically nutrition all the way.

How Long Does It Take To Bake Salmon

First off, you need to make sure your over is set for 450℉ and then the next step would be to bake the asparagus and salmon for about 13 minutes.

How do you know when the salmon is ready?

Be watchful. If the salmon has an opaque look that means you’re almost there. When it can easily be flaked with a fork then you know it’s time to pull it out. You can slice a little piece and check if it is undercooked. If you aren’t satisfied, feel free to throw it back in the oven and allow for some minutes.

Be careful, you don’t want your salmon to get dry and overdone.

Is This Recipe Kid-Friendly?

Yes, it is very nutritious. I feed this to my kids on a weekly basis. If you have growing kids, the protein, potassium, and other nutrients in the salmon and asparagus recipe will do them good.

So, feel free to serve this to the little ones.

Is It Freezer-Friendly?

Nope, I would freeze this, although I could, I just won’t. It’s better fresh than preserved. So, prepare what you can finish. You won’t need to spend a lot of time in preparing a new dish whenever you get salmon hungry.

So, freezer? It is a No for me, and it should be for you too.
