Keto Salmon Dip (Or NOT Keto!)

Keto Salmon Dip Recipe

My recipe for keto salmon dip is really only keto because of what you do or do not dip into it, because just the dip itself is super low-carb and high in protein!  (Remember that “eating keto” is basically just a very low-carbohydrate diet, low enough so you stay “in ketosis” which means your body is using up your fat for fuel instead of using the carbs you're eating as it normally would.)

So if you want it to be a keto salmon dip, eat it with celery or cucumbers.  If you're not a low-carb eater and you want your keto salmon dip to be just a regular salmon dip, eat it with your favorite crackers.  🙂

It's addicting though, and I normally don't love salmon!

The key to making this as nutrient-dense as possible is using the right fish, don't used farmed salmon.  For the safest, healthiest and most environmentally sustainable salmon (and other tasty seafood), here's where to get it or just find it at your local health food store.

By the way, if you want to know more about the keto diet, get 150 yummy keto recipes in a FREE cookbook, Bacon & Butter when you click here to sign up for my newsletter.  (Just pay shipping.)

Scroll down for the keto salmon dip recipe OR keeping reading to learn more about salmon…

Which species should I choose?

Ultimately, it's a matter of taste — these culinary and nutritional distinctions may assist your choice.

King salmon is the fattiest Pacific species, while sockeye features the strongest flavor and firmest texture, and cooks more quickly than the other species — usually in just 6 to 7 minutes.

Silver is generally milder and softer than sockeye and king, while keta and pink are generally the mildest and softest salmon.

Nutrition numbers for wild salmon vary by harvest season, year, and location.      

NOTE: While farmed salmon has comparable omega-3 levels, its unnatural diet gives it high, pro-inflammatory levels of omega-6 fats.

Wild Pacific salmon (especially sockeye) offers much more vitamin D than any other food, including farmed salmon.

Wild salmon is also the richest food source of astaxanthin (as-tuh-zan-thin) … a carotene-class red-orange pigment with strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties.

Sockeye salmon has the highest astaxanthin levels, which explains the species' deep red-orange color and its other common name: “red” salmon.     (Source)

NOTE:  there are two recipes here.  One with and without hot sauce, so pick your preference.  Lately I am loving the second one better (with hot sauce) from my friend Kay and I cannot stop eating it!

Keto Salmon Dip (or NOT keto)

Servings: 1 medium bowl of dip
Author: Kelly the Kitchen Kop

Ingredients

  • 2 large green onions with 2 inches of the green parts or more if you'd like extra flavor
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic peeled
  • Juice from 2 organic lemons
  • 1/4 cup mayo my homemade mayo is SO fast and easy!
  • 8 ounce softened cream cheese I use pastured organic cream cheese
  • Leftover grilled salmon about 2 filets, which is about 2 cups
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or more to your own taste preferences
  • Sea salt and pepper -- add a little and taste-test add more as needed
  • Note that none of these amounts need to be exact! Just play with it to see what you like.

Instructions

  • Toss the green onions, garlic, and lemon juice into your food processor until it's all chopped up into small pieces.  Add the rest of the ingredients and process it all together well, taste-test to see if it needs a bit more garlic, salt or pepper.
  • Serve with celery or cucumbers for a keto appetizer, or if you're not eating low-carb, serve with corn chips, crackers, bagel or pita chips -- only buy organic for any of that stuff to avoid corn syrup, super processed vegetable oils, preservatives, etc.  Or try these homemade sourdough crackers!

Kay's Salmon Spread

Here's another very different salmon dip that's so good!
Servings: 6 servings, approximate

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Cream cheese, organic is best to avoid weird additives
  • 1 cup Cooked salmon, crumbled
  • 2 Tablespoons Mayo, homemade mayo is best to avoid seed oils!
  • 1.5-2 Tablespoons Sriracha (or more to your taste)
  • 1/2-3/4 Tablespoon Everything but the bagel seasoning (& more for garnish if desired)
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon pepper seasoning (I didn't have that so I added 1/2 teaspoon pepper plus the juice of 1/2 a lemon)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 3 Green onions, thinly sliced (& more for garnish if desired)

Instructions

  • Mix everything together and add more green onions and/or bagel seasoning on top if desired.
  • Serve with vegetable strips, your favorite crackers, or pita bread.

Thanks to my friend Liz for helping with the taste-testing!
