This low-carb baked salmon recipe has become a firm favorite in our house, in part thanks to how easy it is. I love recipes that are easily adaptable for those times when your pantries are looking scarce, and this is definitely one of those.

And it's not just easy to make — it's low-carb, keto and whole 30!

To start with, there are very few ingredients to begin with for this dish. And of those that there are, there are always options to mix things up. Dried herbs can easily replace the fresh parsley (or swap it out with another fresh herb such as dill or chives).

Don’t have lemons? Use a splash of apple cider vinegar. And broccolini works well here, but you could easily use a number of other low-carb vegetables here — asparagus, sliced zucchini, capsicum strips or cauliflower florets would all work.

I also love recipes that our somewhat fussy toddler will eat, and this salmon has a 100% strike rate so far. We haven’t been able to get her to eat a bit of the broccolini yet, but she’s stopped throwing it off her tray at least — progress, right!?

The Baked Salmon calls for 1 cup of parsley. This seems like a lot of parsley and the photos do not look like it’s that much. Can someone confirm the parsley amount?
I made this last night and it was delicious but I probably used 1/4 cup parsley. I’ll be making it again with asparagus.

Hi Tracy, you are right. It was listed correctly here (1 tbsp) but the recipe data in the app still had it for some reason. I re-synced and it should be correct now. I hope this helps!

How do I add a recipe that I created to my food log?  
Also, when do the recipes on the website get to the app?  Using one posted today but it's not on the app yet.

Hi Tracy,
could you please contact our support with screenshots? I tested this on four devices and I can see the "add" option for this recipe as well as all the recent recipes so I'm not sure why you don't see it on your device. You should see all recipes we share via the blog in two places in the app:
1) Recipes > New > tap on the recipe and then tap on the Add option (plus icon)
2) KetoDiet Blog > tap on the recipe and then again on the Add option
Thank you!
The best email to contact support is feedback[at]ketodietapp[dot]com

Where do we use the olive oil in the ingredients in the recipe , it is not mentioned
thank you

You are right, it was missing in the steps. You could either mix it with the garlic butter and lemon, or you could drizzle it on top after baking.

Thank you
Magda
