One Skillet Lemon Dill Salmon {Whole30, Keto}

Sharing is caring!

Whole 30 Nut Free Egg Free No Added Sugar

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of PrimeWaters Seafood. All opinions are 100% mine.

This lemon dill salmon with a creamy sauce is made all in one skillet in under 30 minutes! It’s seriously tasty and completely dairy-free, Paleo, Whole30 compliant and keto friendly too. It’s perfect served over veggie noodles, cauliflower rice or your favorite greens.

Is there anything better than a one-skillet dinner for weeknights? Especially one that’s both healthy and super delicious. And I have one today for you that you’re going to love!

Between driving kids to activities after school and in the evening, I have a MAX of 30 minutes to get dinner ready. With the simple, fresh flavors of citrus, garlic, and dill this salmon is my favorite recipe lately and it comes together quickly – in just about 20 minutes!

What You Need to Make this One-Skillet Salmon

I love that this recipe requires so few ingredients yet packs such a big flavor punch and works for so many diets (keto, paleo, and Whole30!)

  • Here’s what you’ll need to prepare it:
  • Individual salmon fillet portions
  • Garlic
  • Tapioca flour, or arrowroot
  • Broth
  • Coconut milk, full fat
  • Lemon
  • Stone ground mustard
  • Sea salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Fresh dill

How to Make One Skillet Lemon Dill Salmon

In a large skillet, heat the ghee or oil over medium. Season he salmon with salt and pepper and add to the skillet, skin side down. Fry for about 5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes until the salmon is browned and nearly cooked through. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillets.

Remove salmon to a plate and set aside. Lower the heat to low. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook until tender. Whisk in the tapioca or arrowroot, then add the broth and coconut milk.

Stir to combine, then stir in the lemon juice, mustard, sea salt and pepper. Cook and stir over medium-high heat to bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer.

Add the salmon back to the skillet and heat through to the internal temperature of 145F’. Sprinkle the fresh dill over the salmon and sauce and serve with your favorite veggies, cauliflower rice, or potatoes.
