Keto Smoked Salmon: Easy, Creamy & Delicious Recipe

Keto Smoked Salmon is a fancy and easy meal that fits the life of a low-carb, high-fat lifestyle perfectly. Smoked salmon can be used as a breakfast dish on a bed of creamy avocado, added to a fresh salad, or it can be eaten with keto-friendly crackers, which makes it elegant and rich in flavour. It is a nutritional powerhouse because of its naturally high protein, healthy omega-3 fats, which help the brain remain healthy, the heart remain healthy, and the body maintain a state of well-being, all without leaving ketosis.

Smokiness of the salmon is matched with buttery textures and fresh herbs, thus making it in sum pleasing and refreshing. This dish is also easy to prepare and tastes like it is made at a gourmet level. The cold-smoked or the hot-smoked salmon is always a good result. It is ideal when you are in a hurry in the morning or at a fancy brunch, or even when you just want to have a simple light dinner.
