This skillet salmon with vegetables is a great keto and low-carb dinner that’s full of nutrients.

This Salmon with Burst Tomatoes and Green Beans (or some variation of it) is pretty much a weekly staple in our house, we almost always have salmon on hand and this recipe is so simple, yet it tastes like you’ve spent all day slaving in the kitchen to prepare a delicious and nutritious meal for your friends and family.

In reality, it takes less than half an hour from start to finish and keeps great in the refrigerator if you have any leftovers.  Salmon has to be one of my all-time favorite proteins, because of its delicious flavor and numerous health benefits.

 

How to make Salmon with Burst Tomatoes and Green Beans:

  • You’ll start by seasoning your salmon. We opt for wild-caught sockeye salmon.
  • Next, you’ll sear the salmon in a hot skillet with ghee on the stovetop.
  • Finally, add in the tomatoes and green beans and transfer the skillet to the oven to finish cooking.

We eat a lot of salmon at my house, and I guess I’m making up for lost time. Until I met my wife, and she started cooking for me, I was absolutely repulsed by seafood. I might have been able to handle a blackened tilapia, but everything else was out, no shrimp, no scallops, definitely not any sushi, but I didn’t grow up eating a lot of seafood. The only seafood restaurant near my childhood home was Long John Silvers.

Anyway, I’ve read that our tastebuds completely change every 7 years (I don’t know if that’s true) so go out and try something different, because you may love it now, just like I’ve found a love for salmon and pretty much every other sea species out there. Even Lauren’s disdain for ground beef and celery has changed. Crazy huh?

One of our favorite salsas has always been the taqueria-style jalapeño sauce that’s sometimes served with street-style tacos at your local Mexican restaurant. It’s richer than a salsa fresca or pico de gallo and is super creamy from the cooked jalapeños. We love the richness of it and it goes so well with so many things.

These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally featured in our cookbook and now that Cast Iron Keto is focused on plant-based + low-carb recipes, we thought it deserved a permanent place on the website.⁠
⁠
If you have our cookbook, have you tried this recipe out of the Meatless Monday chapter? If not, we hope you do, even if you’re more omnivore than plant-based. Why? Because they are simply delicious!⁠
⁠
The combination of the crumbled walnuts, tender cauliflower, and smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce create a filling that, while it resembles ground beef, is much more layered in flavors.⁠
⁠
The toppings are completely up to you, these are just our go-to’s. Some type of creamy sauce would be delicious too. Maybe a bit of dairy-free (or regular) sour cream mixed with a bit of extra chipotle in adobo? Yes, that sounds just perfect. You can grab the recipe link in our bio!⁠
