Salmon in Creamy Tomato Basil Sauce

Salmon in Creamy Tomato Basil Sauce

A luxurious dish that’s quick and easy to make. Because you deserve the best of all possible worlds.

Keyword: Chef Taffiny Elrod, Creamy Tomato Basil
Keto Chow Flavor: Creamy Tomato Basil
Recipe Creator: Chef Taffiny Elrod
Servings: 1 4 oz. piece of salmon and about 1/3 cup sauce
Calories: 267.4kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. skin-on salmon filet
  • 2 Tbsp. mild olive oil or avocado oil
  • 6 fresh cloves garlic, chopped
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced (6 oz.)
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher slat plus extra for seasoning salmon
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper plus extra for seasoning salmon
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or 1/2 cup broth with 1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup warm fish broth or chicken broth
  • 1 serving Creamy Tomato Basil Keto Chow
  • 2 Tbsp. heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, cut into thin ribbons, plus extra for garnish

Instructions

  • Trim the salmon, check for any bones and scales, and cut into four equal pieces. Pat the skin of each piece dry and season the flesh side lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Place a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil.
  • When the oil is shimmering, carefully place the salmon in the pan skin side down.
  • Allow the salmon to cook undisturbed for about three minutes, or until the salmon begins to look opaque on the sides.
  • Use a pair of tongs to gently test the salmon. If it moves freely, turn it over. If it is stuck to the pan, let it cook for another 30 seconds or more until it frees easily from the pan.
  • Cook the salmon on the other side for another two minutes or until almost fully cooked. It should look opaque almost all the way through and be fairly firm to the touch.
  • Transfer the salmon to a plate and make the sauce.
  • Add chopped garlic to the same pan and cook until it begins to brown lightly. Add the red pepper flake and sizzle in the oil briefly.
  • Add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper to the pan and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  • When the tomatoes begin to soften, add the white wine to the pan, turn the heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally until the wine is reduced by at least half. Then reduce the heat to low.
  • Mix the Keto Chow with the warm broth, stirring until the Keto Chow is dissolved.
  • Whisk the Keto Chow mixture into the sauce in the pan and mix well.
  • Add the heavy cream and fresh basil and stir together.
  • Place the salmon back in the pan and heat gently until the salmon is warmed through and the sauce is hot. Don’t let the sauce boil.
  • Serve salmon and sauce garnished with fresh basil.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Notes

Notes: Serve with zucchini noodles, or cauliflower rice and a green salad for a Mediterranean inspired plate that will make any meal feel special.

Spicy Taco Slow Simmered Greens

Spicy Taco Slow Simmered Greens

This riff on traditional, slow cooked greens is tender and full of savory flavor.  Buy a bag of pre-washed and chopped greens, or even frozen greens to make this dish even easier to bring together!

Keto Chow Flavor: Spicy Taco Soup
Recipe Creator: Chef Taffiny Elrod
Servings: 1 1/2 cup
Calories: 98.6kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil or bacon fat
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 plum tomato, sliced
  • 1 small red bell pepper or red jalapeno pepper, sliced
  • 1 smoked turkey neck or ham bone
  • 1/2 lb. collard greens, washed and cut or torn into 1" ribbons*
  • 1/2 lb. kale, washed and cut or torn into 1" ribbons
  • 2 1/2 cups water, divided
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 Tbsp. vinegar
  • 1 serving Spicy Taco Soup Keto Chow

Instructions

  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven or soup pot with a heavy lid.
  • Add the onion, garlic, tomato, and bell pepper and cook until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are fragrant. Then add the turkey neck to the pot.
  • Add all the greens, then stir and cover the pot. After one minute, open the lid and stir again.
  • If all the greens don’t fit at first, put as many as you can and wait until some have wilted, then add the rest.
  • Add 1 cup of water, and the salt and vinegar. Stir again and cover the pot.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer for approximately 40 minutes, stirring occasionally and checking to make sure there is enough liquid inside the pot. You don’t want the bottom of the pot to scorch.
  • After 40 minutes, mix the Keto Chow with 1 1/2 cups water and stir into the greens.
  • Simmer for another 10 minutes.
  • Remove the neck bone or ham bone and shred any meat to mix into greens if desired.
  • Serve as a side with your favorite main course. This dish is especially good with roasted and barbecued meats, keto cornbread, or Creamy Keto Baked Cauliflower and Cheese.

Notes

*This recipe calls for collard greens and kale, but mustard greens, turnip greens, and even cabbage are all delicious prepared this way.
The nutrition information does not include the ham hock/turkey neck option of shredded meat.

Keyword: sarah deyoung, Savory Chicken Soup
Keto Chow Flavor: Savory Chicken Soup
Recipe Creator: Sarah DeYoung
Servings: 5 crackers
Calories: 152.1kcal

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Whip the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until it is soft.
  • Add the Keto Chow and olive oil; beat until combined.
  • Add the coconut flour and cheese; beat until it starts to come together into a dough.
  • Add the heavy cream and beat again. It should form a stiff, slightly tacky dough.
  • Preheat the oven to 350℉.
  • Divide the dough in two and shape each half into a rectangular block.
  • Place one half of the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll the dough out into a large rectangle 1/8 inch thick. It doesn’t have to be perfect! You can trim the edges and use the trimmed pieces to repair any parts that are too thin.
  • Remove the parchment paper from the top. Use a large knife, pastry cutter, or pizza cutter to score the dough into 1 1/2 inch squares (or any shape you prefer).
  • Transfer the dough, still on the parchment paper, to a large baking sheet. Use a fork to prick the center of each cracker to help them crisp while baking.
  • Repeat with the other half of the dough.
  • Bake on the center rack of the oven for about 20 minutes, rotating the trays halfway through baking. When the crackers are done, they will be brown around the outer edges and on the bottoms and just starting to brown lightly on the tops. If the crackers aren’t lightly browned, they won’t be crispy when they cool.
  • Transfer them to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before breaking them apart along the scoring.
  • Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to three days. Store in the freezer for up to three months.

  • In a small mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese with a fork to lighten it, then whisk in the egg.
  • Mix in the Keto Chow, erythritol blend, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and pecans if using.
  • Preheat a mini waffle iron and spray with oil.
  • Add half the batter to the waffle iron to cook. It should take about three minutes. If the waffle feels stuck, let it cook a bit longer until it frees easily. Repeat with the other half of the batter.
  • Sandwich the vanilla ice cream between the two chaffles.

Equipment

  • Metal full sized madeleine pan*

Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter extra for greasing the molds
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol
  • 2 1/2 tsp. grated grapefruit zest divided
  • 1/2 cup sifted, fine almond flour (1.5 oz.)
  • 1 serving Guava Grapefruit Keto Chow
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free white chocolate chips
  • pink food coloring

Instructions

  • Melt the butter and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, erythritol, and two tsp. of the grapefruit zest with an electric mixer (or ideally a stand mixer) until they are light, frothy, and at least doubled in volume. The whipped eggs should be the color of butter and the consistency of slightly whipped heavy cream. This will take about 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix the almond flour, Keto Chow, and baking powder and set aside.
  • When the eggs and erythritol are fully whipped, add the dry ingredients and gently fold in with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
  • Add the melted butter and gently fold into the mixture.
  • Allow the batter to rest for 10-20 minutes. While it rests, preheat the oven to 325℉.
  • Brush a thin layer of softened butter inside the madeleine molds.
  • Use a small (.75 oz, #40) cookie scoop to fill each mold with about 1 1/2 Tbsp. batter. It’s okay if the batter sits in the middle of the molds; it will spread to fill them when it bakes.
  • Place the filled tray in the center rack of the oven and bake for about 12-15, or until the cakes are golden around the edges and spring back when touched lightly in the center.
  • Madeleines can be enjoyed warm or cooled completely and dipped in white chocolate. To decorate with white chocolate, melt the chocolate and stir in a drop or two of pink food coloring.
  • Dip one edge of each madeleine into the melted chocolate and place on a rack to set. Sprinkle with extra grapefruit zest if desired.
  • Madeleines are best eaten within a day or two but can be stored tightly wrapped in the freezer up to three months.

Notes

*Using a silicone madeleine pan will not allow the batter to cook evenly.

Ingredients

FILLING

  • 1 cup pecan raw, unsalted
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 6 oz. heavy whipping cream
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar erythritol
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

CAKE

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325℉.
  • Once preheated, spread one cup of pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for eight minutes.
  • Take out the baking sheet and sprinkle one cup of coconut flakes over pecans and return to the oven for two minutes to very lightly toast the coconut. Leave the oven at 325℉.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cream, egg yolks, butter, sweetener, and vanilla on medium, whisking constantly so it doesn't burn. Cook for about five minutes, or until it begins to thicken. It's done when it's reached the thickness of condensed milk. When it's ready, pour into a cool bowl so it stops cooking.
  • Chop roasted pecans and coconut finely. Stir into the thickened mixture. Let it sit at room temperature for 90 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the cake. Butter the sides and bottom of two small (8- or 9-inch) cake pans, then line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper.
  • Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place it in a small bowl along with the butter. Microwave for 45 seconds, then stir. Everything should be melted. If not, put it back in for 15-20 seconds. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Using a stand mixer or electric mixer, beat the eggs on low for 30 seconds, or until frothy. Then increase speed to high and beat about 5 minutes, or until light in color, and about tripled in volume.
  • Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl, then set aside.
  • Pour the melted chocolate/butter mixture, as well as the vanilla and heavy cream, into the eggs and beat until combined.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients gently. The mixture will lose some air.
  • Pour evenly into the prepared pans and place on the center rack of the oven.
  • Bake at 325℉ for 25-35 minutes, or until they are bouncy to the touch, and a knife comes out of them clean.
  • Let cool completely.
  • Turn cakes out of the pans. Put one on a serving plate and cover with half of the filling. Place the other cake on top and evenly spread on the remaining filling. Decorate with unroasted pecans and coconut and serve.
  • Store any leftover cake in the fridge, but allow it to come to room temperature so that the filling softens before serving.
