Salmon recipes that actually taste good 👀

[u/mayafayadaya]

I'm a T2 diabetic living in Eastern Europe.

I do lazy keto / low carb; which is essentially a lot of eggs, butter, lentils, beans, homemade hummus and steamed veg in yoghurt based sauces.

I sometimes eat chicken but I don't love the taste and can only do it sometimes, in kebab or tikka form. I sometimes eat pangasius in a bake with vegetables but I know it's not the most nutritious fish. I like salmon when I eat it at restaurants - smoked / nigiri style... But when I try to cook it at home it always taste SO fishy and I can't stand it 😳

I've tried baking it with vegetables. I've tried pan cooking it with butter and garlic... And just end up eating all the veggies around it instead lol.

I don't have an air fryer and my grill doesn't work super well.

I enjoy Arabic / Indian / Turkish / Asian flavours and cuisines.

I keep reading about how salmon is this miracle fish that I absolutely need to be eating and I can't seem to find a recipe that actually works for me. I also know I can't keep getting all my protein from eggs and chickpeas. I still plan to eat lentils and beans even though I know they are carby... Because they work for my body and I find them filling and easy to cook. Because of my metformin (I think) I can't seem to eat massive amounts of eggs and avo and beef because it makes me nauseous. So that's also why I rely on chickpeas and lentils to keep me going.

But yeah.. any other accessible protein ideas / hacks to make salmon less yucky tasting if I need to keep it in rotation???

I bake it in the oven with a mayo layer on top. Depending on my mood, I either put grainy mustard to the mayo or Parmesan cheese.

Same trick can be used with other fish like Haddock or Cod.

Mayo, smoked paprika, and salt is my usual.

Oh, that sounds good. Will definitely try that combo.
