Salmon in mayo sauce

Ingredients:

  • 9 pieces of salmon
  • mayo (I put 9 tbsp of mayo since I had 9 salmon pieces) – so one tbsp per piece of fish
  • salt to taste
  • smoked paprika to taste
  • garlic powder to taste
  • onion powder to taste
  • thyme to taste
  • hot sauce to taste

Directions:

In a bowl, mix all the ingredients (with the exception of salmon).

Place the fish in a baking dish. Pour the sauce over each piece.

Bake covered at 425 F for 25 minutes.

We liked it, because the salmon was very moist.

Baked salmon with onion-garlic sauce

  • 10 small-medium pieces of wild salmon

for the sauce:

  • 2 onions
  • 9 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp dry parsley ( fresh is better, but I didn’t have)
  • 1/2 cup grapeseed oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Directions :

In a food processor, mix all the ingredients for the sauce.

Put the salmon in a oven safe pan, and pour the sauce over each piece

Cover the pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Then bake uncovered at 425 F for 5- 8 minutes, depending on your liking.

The result was good – we all liked it.

Salmon

This is how I prepare my salmon.
Ingredients:

  • salmon
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • garlic powder (optional )
  • oil or butter

Directions:

Wash your salmon then dry it with paper towels. Cut it in serving pieces and place them into an aluminum foil pan, with the skin down.

Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, in the amount that you like. Usually, I add a little more salt.

Then grill it on high temperature for 10 minutes. Then add a little bit of butter or oil on top of each piece, and let it cook for 5 more minutes.

The reason I add the extra fat is because usually the wild salmon is not that fat (at least in my opinion). And a little bit of extra butter is always tasty.

Once the salmon is cooked, scoop it from the skin, and eat only the meat.

We usually eat the salmon in two ways:

– with steamed vegetables and garlic sauce

– with polenta and garlic sauce

I hope you like my way of cooking salmon. Very healthy and easy.

Salmon salad

Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon (boneless and skinless) cans
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/3 cup shredded carrots
  • juice from one lemon
  • salt
  • black pepper

Directions:

Wash and chop celery to have 1/2 cup. You can actually add as much or as many as you like.

Shred carrots to get 1/3 cup. The same note for carrots – you can add more or less.

In a bowl add the salmon, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and mayonnaise. Mix everything together. Adjust the quantities of the ingredients to fit your liking.

We have served it with tomatoes, but you can use celery sticks, bell pepper wedges, or even keto bread.

My food on March 25

Today I tried to eat keto. I did not succeed 100%, but it’s a good start.

Breakfast: just tea (including green tea), no real food

Lunch: salmon with tomatoes + Greek grape leaf rolls (with rice) + one yogurt. I know those rolls with rice are not keto, but I just couldn’t eat that salmon with only tomatoes.

Dinner:  chicken with garlic sauce + one peace of smoked trout

Snack: just 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds

Today I had only tea, and water.

Gurmete out!

My food on March 21

Breakfast: one yogurt + one sandwich with gluten free toast and turkey ham

Lunch: We bought lunch, since I was in a hurry in the morning, and I didn’t have time to pack a lunch. The food was salmon with cauliflower puree, and green beans. The puree tasted more like potato  puree than cauliflower, but I liked it.

Dinner:  polenta with herring in olive oil (from a tin) + chicken with garlic sauce + one small mint with chocolate ice cream

Today I had tea, and some water. And I started drinking green tea again. I really hope this green tea will be okay for my body, since I don’t have the gallbladder anymore.

Gurmete out!
