    So simple to make in less than 15 minutes, and so impressive served with a low-carb side dish like a salad or zucchini fries for a more vibrant and crunchy option.

    • Salt and Pepper

    Easy!

    To start, heat the butter in a deep pan and sauté your salmon fillets for around 1 minute on each side.

    While you're doing that, thinly slice your garlic and zest your lemon.

    Add the garlic to your pan with the salmon and let it cook for another minute.

    Pour in your heavy cream, lemon zest then season with salt and pepper.

    Let the cream cook until it thickens, then lower the heat and add your lemon juice gently stirring to incorporate it with the sauce.

    This lemon garlic salmon goes great with a low carb salad or side dish like our keto zucchini fries.

      Can you sub chicken? Will it change anything drastically?

        Hey CeeCee, you can definitely substitute the salmon for chicken in this recipe. Cooking times will change a bit but it should be just as delicious. Enjoy!

        Hi Michelle, double cream is just heavy cream/whipping cream. Hope that helps! Did you enjoy the recipe?

      I made it! My son likes salmon broiled in soy sauce, pineapple juice, bourbon and brown sugar, so a sweet glazed salmon. I wasn’t expecting it, but he loved the lemon and cream salmon just as much.
