Amazing low carb baked salmon with creamy cabbage and spinach recipe

Posted by Gary

It’s been a long day at work. I got home around 7.30 pm and tore into the refrigerator to pull out a piece of salmon. I’ve been thinking of baked salmon all day. I still hadn’t fully formed in my mind how I was going to cook it but as I got undressed it dawned on me to to use some spinach, rocket and chard leaves along with some sliced cabbage.

The texture tonight came from the nuts in the creamy sauce along with some crunch from the cabbage.

There was also texture in the skin of the baked salmon with the sticky crispy skin.

This is a dish that needs a good amount of seasoning and it brings out the flavours and textures.
