Ingredients

  • 1-2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh herbs thyme, parsley, and basil
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun/Creole seasoning
  • ¼ cup or 60ml canola oil or more
  • 2-3 fillet (4-6oz) Salmon Steaks room temperature
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound or more green beans or any vegetables
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • baby potatoes

Instructions

  • Clean and cut the baby potatoes in half. Then place them in a large pot and pour water into it; enough to cover the potatoes. Season with salt.
  • Bring it to a boil or until fork tender. Drain the water and let the pot with cooked potatoes simmer for 2-3 minutes until all excess water is gone. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine garlic, thyme, parsley, Cajun/Creole seasoning, and canola oil. Mix thoroughly. Set aside.
  • Place the salmon steaks on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Brush the salmon steaks with the spice mixture. Set aside.
  • In separate bowls/plates, coat the veggies (tomatoes, green beans, and cooked potatoes) with the same Cajun spice mixture.
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment. Spray with a cooking spray or lightly oil.
  • Place the seasoned salmon, tomatoes, potatoes and green beans on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
  • Allow the salmon and vegetables to bake for 15-18 minutes or until cooked through. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your salmon and preference.

Notes

  • You may leave the salmon and veggies in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. Then bake as instructed. Or fry them in a pan.
  • Replace canola oil with olive oil, coconut oil, or butter to make it completely keto-friendly.
  • This recipe makes a great meal prep.
  • You may add more veggies like carrots, zucchini, and bell pepper.
  • Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
