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 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 1 medium egg
  • 1/2 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
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 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.
