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.

Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

FILLING

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 red bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 green bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 small yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic crushed
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 serving Spicy Taco Base Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)
  • 1/4 cup green olives with pimento

CORNBREAD TOPPING

Instructions

  • Make the filling first by heating the olive oil in a ten-inch cast iron skillet or oven safe skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the bell peppers, onion, and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally until they begin to brown.
  • Add the ground beef, stirring and breaking it up with a spoon or spatula.
  • Add the chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Lower the heat and continue cooking for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through.
  • When the beef is cooked, stir in the Spicy Taco Soup Keto Chow and the green olives.
  • Preheat the oven to 350℉.
  • To make the cornbread topping, combine the almond flour, Savory Chicken Soup Keto Chow, coconut flour, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • In another mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, almond milk, cider vinegar, and corn extract (if using).
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the center of the dry ingredients and gently fold it all together with a wooden spoon or spatula. Then fold in the cheese.
  • If the beef filling has cooled down too much, warm through again. Then carefully spread the “cornbread” topping over the filling to the edges of the pan.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and springs back when gently touched, and the filling is bubbling.

Notes

This would also be wonderful if you replaced the hamburger with shredded chicken, pork, or beef. With hamburger, it has a more taco taste/feel.
