Keto Indian Spiced Salmon
There is SO much flavour in this Indian spiced salmon!
I have been experimenting with dry rubs a lot and have particularly enjoyed using them on salmon fillets to create quick meals packed with flavour.
Ingredients
6 salmon fillets
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp kosher salt
Dry rub
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Directions
Preheat oven to 375F.
Prepare the dry rub by mixing together the spices in a small bowl.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to remove moisture, then rub on the spice mix, avoiding the skin. Allow to rest 5 min.
While the salmon fillets rest, melt the coconut oil in a large oven safe skillet over medium high heat. Once melted, add the kosher salt.
Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skindown over the salt, and allow to sear 5 min.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8-10 min, until the top is slightly golden.
Optionally, you can broil the salmon for the last 1-2 min in the oven, keeping an eye that they do not burn.
Serve with your favourite side. These salmon fillets taste amazing with a pilaf cauliflower rice and or a side of kachumber salad (see our Keto Kachumber Salad recipe).
