As an avid keto dieter, I am always looking for new ways to incorporate this way of eating into my life. One of the ways I do this is by experimenting with new recipes. Recently, I had wanted to try a new curry recipe of mine.

To be honest, we haven’t always like fish dishes, but this changes everything! I understand it; I’d rather prepare and eat a dessert dish, too, but this keto fish curry will wow your taste senses. It’s one of our most popular recipes, and it only takes 30 minutes to prepare!
Keto Seafood Recipes You Must Try!
I was not a big fan of shellfish until I met Matt. I tried again and over, but it was never going to stick! However, thanks to Matt and the keto diet, I’ve developed a fondness for all fish, particularly salmon. Some of my favorite seafood dishes are ones we’ve prepared since they’re not only quick and simple to prepare, but also flavorful.
If you want to spice things up in the kitchen, try the following:
- Matt’s favorite low-carb shrimp scampi!
- Poke Bowls with Ahi Tuna (inspired by our trip to Hawaii)
- Curry with Keto Shrimp
If you’re new to preparing seafood, shrimp is an excellent place to start. You can purchase it deveined and without the shell, so you don’t have to do any prep work! Cooking time is just a few minutes, and it absorbs whatever flavor you cover it with. Don’t worry, you can’t go wrong!
Is Salmon Keto-Friendly?
Salmon is not just excellent for keto, but it’s also good for you in general! It’s an excellent source of dietary fat in the form of omega 3 fatty acids, which we should consume more of but find difficult to accomplish due to the availability of omega 6 fatty acids in our diets.

We like to purchase our salmon with the skin on for a variety of reasons. The first is that skin on equals more fat, and the second is that when pan seared (as we often do), it crisps up beautifully and adds a lovely crunch to each mouthful!
Another thing to think about while buying salmon is the quality. If at all feasible, opt for wild caught, not only for the omega 3 content, but also for the sake of sustainability!
Which Carb Pairs Best With Salmon?
Whether eaten on its own with a basic salt and pepper seasoning or in a dish like this keto salmon curry, salmon has a lot of flavor. As a result, any carb or side dish will go well with a good piece of salmon.
Oven zucchini noodles, roasted broccoli, and cauliflower rice are some of our favorite carbohydrates or vegetables to serve with salmon. All three can be made in about 15 minutes, making this the quickest and most delicious meal you’ve ever had!
Other excellent side dishes to offer with salmon include:
- Brussel Sprouts with a Crispy Crunch
- Cold Cauliflower Salad (a delicious alternative to potato salad!)
- Onion Rings with Low Carb
Simple Substitutions
The meat and sauce/marinade will be the main ingredients in many recipes. Because the sauce is what gives the dish its taste, you want to make sure it’s perfect.
We offer you the precise proportions for an amazing red Thai curry sauce in the recipe below, and it’s even dairy free. However, if you prefer dairy or don’t have canned coconut milk or salmon on hand, you can make this dish with a few simple substitutions!
Simple Swaps:
- Coconut Milk in a Can — Heavy Cream
- Chicken Thighs, Boneless and Skinless
- Red Curry Paste (sometimes known as red curry powder) is a paste made from red curry leaves (or curry powder for an Indian twist)

This week I came across a recipe that surprised me… It was AHIYAHUJIAO. You may remember this dish from my keto-friendly Chinese cookbook with a similar name. This is a ‘low carb’ version of that recipe with some extra twists. There’s no need to add any extra salt or sugar, and the curry sauce is a bit sweeter than the one in the cookbook. The salmon is cooked in coconut oil, and you can use coconut aminos or soy sauce instead of fish sauce (I prefer the latter)..
