    This keto salmon spinach en croute is a low carb & gluten free version of the classic fish baked in pastry recipe. A creamy spinach topped salmon fillet is wrapped like a parcel with Fathead dough and baked until golden.

    This is an easy low carb fish recipe that is great for a dinner party as it can be prepared in advanced. It only takes 25 minutes to cook too. I found that the covered fillet needs to be baked in a bread tin to hold its shape as Fathead dough can spread out when cooking. My first attempt at this keto salmon spinach en croute looked like a giant pastry dish.

    Is Salmon OK for Keto?

    Salmon is a great high protein low carb option and is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins and potassium. Naturally low in carbs and an easy fish to make, it’s a great keto choice.

    How to Make Keto Salmon Spinach en Croute

    Making this salmon en croute is as easy as rolling out the fathead dough and wrapping it around a salmon fillet.

    • Roll Fathead dough
    • Place spinach on salmon
    • Fold dough over salmon
    • Brush with egg wash
    • Bake until golden
    • Slice & enjoy

    Cooking Tips

    • Season the salmon well before wrapping it in pastry.
    • If you don’t have spinach you could use cooked kale or broccoli instead. Creamy cooked mushrooms would work too.
    • If you don’t have a microwave for the Fathead dough, place the bowl over a saucepan of boiling water and stir until melted.
    • Baking this in a tin is essential to maintain an even shape.

    What Can Be Served With This?

    This low carb salmon dish is great with a side green salad or roasted asparagus with parmesan. A hearty cauliflower colcannon would make this a filling dinner too.

    Ingredients
     
     

    Fathead Dough

    • 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, grated
    • 2 oz cream cheese
    • 1 medium egg
    • ½ cup almond flour

    Filling

    • 4 salmon fillets, skinless
    • 1 cup spinach, cooked
    • 2 garlic cloves peeled & chopped
    • 1 shallot peeled & chopped
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 oz Parmesan cheese grated
    • 2 oz cream cheese
    • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 egg, beaten for egg wash

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 190C/370F degrees.

    Make the dough

    • Place the mozzarella and cream cheese in a bowl. Cook in the microwave for 60 seconds. Stir and zap for another 30 seconds. If the mixture has not melted give it another blast in the microwave.
    • Give the cheese a good stir so it's evenly melted and add the egg and almond flour.
    • Mix until you have a dough mixture. Don’t be shy about using your hands to mix the dough. If it feels too sticky, add more almond flour.

    Make the filling

    • In a frying pan, heat the olive oil on a medium heat.
    • Add the garlic and shallots and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender.
    • Add the spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan, salt pepper and nutmeg and mix well.

    To Assemble

    • Cut the fathead dough into quarters.
    • Roll out a quarter of the dough in between two sheets of parchment paper large enough to wrap the salmon. Try to keep it to a rectangle as best you can.
    • Place the salmon in the middle of the rolled dough and spoon a quarter of the spinach mixture on place of the salmon fillet.
    • Bring up the sides of the dough over the salmon until it is covered and sealed.
    • Gently turn over the salmon parcel and place on a parchment paper loaf tin (use a loaf tin size that will fit around the salmon fillet).
    • Repeat for the other fillets.
    • Brush the salmon parcels with an egg wash.
    • Bake for 25 minutes until golden.
