This quick salmon recipe makes an easy and healthy meal. It’s a low carb recipe you could make at a moment’s notice too.
The walnut topping is combined with Parmesan and lemon to make a paste for the salmon fillets. You could add herbs to this mixture for your own taste.
Although I used salmon fillets with no skin (the husband’s request) you could happily use fillets with the skin on. It’s your own personal taste.
This salmon walnut recipe is low in carbs but high in fat and protein. It’s almost a perfect low carb high fat dish. Both the salmon and walnuts are brimming with omega 3 fats, antioxidants and vitamins. Eating just four walnuts a day has been shown to significantly raise blood levels of heart-healthy ALA and walnut consumption supports healthful cholesterol levels.
