For a perfectly rounded meal with very little prep, this keto teriyaki salmon with broccoli is a healthy, and quick, favorite.
Salmon is easily one of my favorite proteins, packed with health benefits from tip to toe. Topped with a specially-made keto teriyaki, and served alongside a heap of sauteed veggies, this meal has an indulgent side!
___________________________________________________________________
Salmon is a perfect keto protein since it has zero carbs and tons of heart-healthy Omega-3s, and this recipe leaves it perfectly flaky and moist. The broccoli, onions, and mushrooms we sautee on the side have loads of potassium and vitamins and come out fork tender without being too soft.
What ingredients will I need for keto teriyaki salmon with broccoli?
We love a simple keto recipe around here and this checks the box! This calls for four salmon portions. Depending on where you live of course, it may or may not be possible to get fresh salmon. Any frozen portions at the grocery store will work, but you can also purchase it straight from the source (I have included some information about this below).
The veggie mixture only requires onions, broccoli, mushrooms, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. To give the teriyaki sauce that sweet flavor, I use Swerve brown sugar, but you can use whatever alternative you like!
The salmon can be baked in either the oven or air fryer, but I do recommend sauteeing the veggies on the stove.
I recommend a fish turner here, and any other time you work with them; they are around $12 but often much cheaper during holiday shopping and sales. If you don’t have that, a metal spatula or fork will work.The foil is meant to help the fish from sticking to the pan, but you should still remove slowly to be sure the fillets come out whole.
How do I make keto teriyaki salmon with broccoli?
- In a small bowl, combine your soy sauce, Surkin Gold, garlic, and ginger.
- With a basting brush, coat your salmon pieces with the teriyaki sauce
- If using an air fryer, line the tray with foil and lay the salmon on it, spacing them out as much as possible. At 425 degrees F, this salmon will be done in 15 minutes, or when you reach your desired temperature. For example, if you like your salmon a bit on the medium side, a meat thermometer should read about 125 degrees.
- If using the oven, preheat to 400 degrees F. Then, line a sheet pan with foil and lay your salmon out, spreading the portions apart evenly.
- While the salmon cooks, add the remaining sauce to a pan and add the broccoli and cover for about 5 mins. Then add the mushrooms, cover, and cook for another 5-7 mins.
Serving and variation ideas
- Liquid aminos are a great alternative to soy sauce and pack a lot of health benefits.
- For the broccoli-averse, brussels sprouts and asparagus both make awesome partners for this dish.
- Riced cauliflower (or other riced vegetables) pair perfectly with this recipe, and feels even more indulgent!
- If salmon is not accessible, there are other options that offer you the same health benefits and texture. Trout and bass are the most readily available and work best with the teriyaki flavor. Alternatively, there are options below for ordering fresh salmon no matter where you are!.
Where can I find fresh salmon?
If you aren’t in a region with access to local salmon, there are plenty of fishing towns with businesses who will send you their catch!
- Family-owned SenaSea is straight out of Alaska. You can purchase salmon in various bundles depending on need and style. They have you set if you want lox on bagels, or to make a lovely dinner like this. They have boxes at lots of price points, and you can subscribe to save.
- For something more consistent, you can try, Alaska Home Pack or Wild Alaskan Company. Both of these are a monthly membership box, with individual portions of seafood delivered right to your door.
