This light and delicious salmon dish makes an easy meal any time of day. Coated in a delicious spice rub, this seared salmon filet is crispy on the outside but tender and juicy on the inside. Combined with the fresh and flavorful flavors of homemade salsa, this is a Mexican-inspired Southwestern dish that’s perfect for any occasion.

Salmon is an incredibly health-conscious protein, containing omega-3 fatty acids that are anti-inflammatory and promote healthy heart and brain function. It’s also easy to cook – not to mention delicious! Coat it in a spice rub and sear in a pan until it’s melt-in-your-mouth golden on the outside.
Homemade salsa is the perfect accompaniment to Southwestern salmon, complementing creaminess with tanginess. In fact, salsa is an ideal go-to when you’re looking for something fresh but want a change from green. Pack healthy fat-packed avocado with tomatoes and onions, then top with cilantro and black pepper or jalapeño (if you enjoy a little spice). Play around with and substitute other herbs or fruits of your choice for endless flavors and possibilities. That’s it!
Add a drizzle of lime juice to finish and voila: a quick, light, easy, and delicious keto-friendly meal that packs a healthy punch while keeping things fresh and tasty. This flavor of the Southwest is sure to become one of your staples, and it’s so easy to experiment with that you’ll never get bored. Enjoy!
