My family calls this ‘Salmon Bliss’ because every bite melts in your mouth – I swear I’ve made this three times this week alone!

Salmon has always been a cherished dish in our family, bringing back memories of fishing trips with my father on the Great Lakes. This low-carb garlic butter herb salmon is a delightful twist on a classic, perfect for those looking to enjoy a wholesome meal without the extra carbs. The buttery garlic and fresh herbs infuse the salmon with flavors that remind me of the lush gardens my grandmother tended to every summer. It’s a dish that bridges the gap between the simple, hearty meals of my childhood and the health-conscious choices we make today.

This salmon pairs beautifully with a simple side of roasted asparagus or a fresh garden salad, tossed with a light vinaigrette. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside cauliflower mash, which soaks up the rich garlic butter sauce wonderfully. A glass of crisp white wine or a refreshing iced tea would complement the flavors perfectly, making it an ideal meal for a cozy family dinner or a special occasion.
