This is the perfect dish when you want to eat a satisfying meal while being ketogenic.When we actually tried it, we found that by slowly cooking the salmon at a low temperature, it retains just the right amount of fat and has a much better texture.Adding a butter egg mixed with grass-fed butter will add richness and increase satisfaction.In terms of nutrition, you can get omega-3, vitamin D, and high-quality protein, and vegetables can also supplement vitamins and dietary fiber.

Ingredients (for 2 people) and preparation tips

Ingredients

• Salmon 150g (1 slice)
• Coconut oil 1 tbsp (or olive oil)
• Dill (minced) 2 tsp
• Paprika powder 1 tsp
• Avocado 1/4 pc
• Spinach 2 bunches, baby leaf 1 cup
• Cucumber 1/2 pc, purple daikon radish a little
• Egg 1 pc
• Grass-fed butter 1 tbsp
• Mustard powder 1/2 tsp, salt a little
• Dressing: Dijon mustard 1 tsp, maple syrup 1 tsp (keto-friendly sweetener optional), apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp, avocado oil 2 tbsp, salt and pepper a little

Preparation tips

Bringing the salmon to room temperature will allow it to cook evenly.If it is thick, cut it into pieces or adjust the heating time.Grass-fed butter is easier to mix when it comes to room temperature.Make the dressing in advance and let it blend in to blend the flavors.

How to make (with points)

Low temperature cooking of salmon

1. Preheat the oven to 120℃.
2. Brush the salmon with coconut oil and sprinkle with dill and paprika powder.
3. Bake in the oven at 120℃ for 15 to 20 minutes (adjust the time depending on the thickness). The standard is that the inside is slightly pink and moist. If you know the internal temperature, the standard for texture is about 50 to 55℃.

Tip: If you want to lightly sear the surface, fry both sides of the frying pan over high heat for a short time before putting it in the oven to bring out the aroma.

Butter eggs (egg preparation)

1. Boil water in a pot, add eggs and boil for about 10 minutes over medium heat until hard boiled.
2. Peel the shells and put them in a bowl, add the room temperature grass-fed butter and mustard powder, mix with a fork, and season with salt.

Modification: If you like the runny yolks of soft-boiled eggs, you can let them boil for 6 to 7 minutes and mix them with butter to make a sauce (avoid this if you don't like raw eggs).

Dressing and serving

1. Combine the dressing ingredients in a jar or bowl and mix well (use the maple sparingly as it only takes a small amount).
2. Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a plate.Top with salmon and butter eggs, sprinkle with dressing, and it's done.

Compatibility and arrangement with nutrition and ketogenic diet

This recipe is suitable for ketogenic diets as it is high in fat.Salmon's omega-3 content helps reduce inflammation, and it also provides vitamin D, B complex, and high-quality protein.As a guide, one serving has approximately 500 kcal of energy, 30 g of protein, 35-40 g of fat, and less than 5 g of carbohydrates (varies depending on ingredients and amount).In our testing, even those on a low-carb diet can safely enjoy it by subtracting the maple and replacing it with a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol.

Examples of variations: Add some texture by sprinkling with chopped nuts or roasted pumpkin seeds, freshen up with a squeeze of lemon, or replace the salmon with smoked salmon to make it raw.

Tips for storing and making ahead of time

The dressing will keep refrigerated for 4-5 days.We recommend wrapping grilled salmon in plastic wrap and refrigerating it for about 2 days, and eating eggs with butter within 2 days.If you reheat it in a low temperature oven (100-120℃) for a short time, it will keep it moist.We often make a batch in the first half of the week and use it for lunch.

Summary

The combination of low-cooked salmon and butter eggs made with grass-fed butter is a satisfying dish even on a ketogenic diet.Easy to make and easy to arrange, it's perfect for breakfast or lunch.We recommend cooking the salmon a little more gently and making the dressing less sweet.Make it your own by adding your favorite herbs and toppings.
