KETO FRESH PASTA SALLMON

 

You need to try Keto Fresh Pasta Salmon is a big part of my Keto lifestyle.  I eat it at least once every 2 weeks.  It’s such a delicious Keto protein to enjoy.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF SALMON?

Five types of salmon are enjoyed in our culinary repertoire: 

  • Chinook (also known as King salmon) is native to New Zealand and is considered the best-tasting variety.  They have a high-fat content, rich flesh with a silky texture.  King is considered the most expensive salmon variety.   
  • Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) are sometimes called silver salmon or “silvers” due to their silver skin.  Their flesh is bright red.  They possess a delicate flavour and soft texture.  While King salmon offers more Omega-3 per gram, Coho is considered one of the best-tasting.
  • Pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbusha) are the most common Pacific salmon. There are sometimes called humpies or humpback because of the hump they develop on their back when they spawn.  They have bright-colored, milky flavour, and delicate texture with low fat.  This is the variety normally used in canned versions.  However, this variety is also sold fresh, frozen, and smoked.   A 14.07 ounce can of pink salmon contains 12 grams of protein.
  • Sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) salmon possess bright red-orange flesh and offer deep rich flavor.  Known as “reds” for their dark flesh. 
  • Atlantic salmon is commercially farmed.  (It is important to note that salmon farming has dramatically improved toward sustainability.) This variety offers a milder flavour and medium-firm texture.  It also has a medium fat content.
  • Chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) is also called a dog due to its dog-like teeth.  It is pale to medium-colored and is drier in texture with lower fat content.  This variety is usually canned or sold frozen.

Zero Alcohol Wine Tips:

ALCOHOL AND KETOSIS:

To support your Keto diet or low-carb lifestyle, opt for quality, non-alcoholic wines that are low-carb and low in sugar. Additionally, alcohol does not align with a keto diet or low-carb lifestyle. Moreover, your liver processes alcohol before nutrients, pausing ketone creation and slowing the ketosis process. Furthermore, your body will metabolize alcohol as fuel before utilizing food, which can decelerate fat burning and may lead to the storage of carbs, fat, and protein as excess body fat. Moreover, alcohol consumption stimulates the appetite, potentially causing overeating.

ALCOHOL AND HEALTH:

Did you know that when you consume alcohol, your liver has to work extra hard to break it down? This can result in damage to your liver. Furthermore, it can elevate your risk of health issues such as inflammation and cancer, particularly with heavy consumption. Additionally, alcohol can disrupt your blood sugar levels, leaving you feeling dehydrated and disrupting your body’s normal functions.

NON-ALCOHOLIC WINE AND HEALTH BENEFITS:

Non-alcoholic wines with minimal carbs and sugar are advantageous for your health. They not only aid in weight management, blood sugar control, and hydration but also contain essential nutrients and antioxidants from grapes that can decrease your risk of health conditions like heart disease. Consequently, since they lack alcohol, they’re ideal for socializing without any adverse effects, promoting feelings of happiness and reduced stress.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Noodles:
  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups almond flour
  • 3 teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 1/4 cup flaxseed meal
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (1 pound) salmon fillet (variety of your choice) with skin, about 1 inch thick
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups baby spinach, trimmed and washed
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • *Purchase whole coconut milk in the can.  The cream rises to the top of the can leaving the coconut water below.  Scoop out the coconut cream.
  • These Keto Low-Carb pasta or noodles are very dense and filling.
  • Make the dough in a bowl and by hand or in a food processor or mixer. (Mixer is easiest.)

  • Start with 2 ½ cup of almond flour.  Add more if needed.  Dough should be firm.

  • Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • When ready to use, cut the dough in half.  Cover half of the dough ball with a wet cloth.

  • Boil the noodles for 3 minutes.
  • Drain the noodles in a colander and run cool water over them to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  • Heat the broiler.
  • Put fennel seeds in a small, self-sealing plastic bag, and crush them with a rolling pin.
  • Add parsley, salt, and pepper to the plastic bag. Shake to mix together.
  • Press the mixture onto the skinless side of the salmon.
  • Broil salmon, skin side down, until it is no longer red in the center, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • To prepare, in a large dish fold together noodles and fresh spinach. Set aside. 
  • In another bowl mix together cream and lemon juice. 
  • Pour cream mixture into bowl with noodle/spinach mixture.
