This keto salmon stew recipe is a hearty and different way to cook your salmon. It reheats up perfectly for meal prep and has a creamy taste.
Creamy Keto Salmon Soup
I had a lot of fun making the recipe for this soup! It’s inspired by a Latin dish called “Bacalao” which was a childhood favorite. It’s normally made with potatoes and onions and served with rice.
I made a few changes to that recipe to make it ket0-friendly, and I think it tastes just as good, if not a bit better.
This stew only has 4g net carbs in each serving – so I usually have two bowls of it. It’s not too spicy and tastes amazing on cold and rainy days to warmer days with a chopped salad.
Summer Salmon Recipes
Salmon is a fish that really fills you up. Even just a small amount of it will make you feel so full. Plus, it’s really healthy too. It’s packed with healthy fats and full of lean protein too.
If you want it to taste spicier, I suggest adding some red pepper flakes or chili powder.
Salmon is the perfect summertime fish. Keto Salmon patties are the perfect lunch to take on a picnic. I also love to grilled salmon in foil packets. It’s a fun recipe to make when you are camping.
Summer Seafood Stew
There are lots of ways that you can change this recipe, so have fun making it taste just like you want. Instead of celery, add some chopped turnips. You can also add some carrots to the stew.
Bacon makes it extra flavorful but it’s totally optional. If you do use bacon, always use sugar-free bacon. It’s amazing how many hidden sugars are in maple-cured bacon.
How To Prepare Salmon Stew
This stew is the best thing to make for your meal prep. You can also make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge so it’s ready when you need a really quick meal.
Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. When you are ready to reheat it, just place it in a saucepan and heat it for about 10 minutes.
You can also store it in the freezer. Just place it in a freezer-safe container or resealable plastic bag. It will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 6 months. Let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator and it will be ready for you the next day.
Keto Creamy Stew
The coconut milk and cream cheese are what make this stew so incredibly creamy. Use canned coconut milk – not the carton in the refrigerated section. The canned coconut milk is thicker and has more fat, so it will make the stew extra creamy.
Use either fish or vegetable stock. I like to make my own vegetable broth and keep it in the freezer whenever I am in the mood to make a soup.
Salmon Stew With Coconut Milk
This stew is the perfect lunch. Serve it with your favorite salad, some low-carb garlic butter mushrooms, or with garlic butter cauliflower rice. Then you have a really filling meal.
It will also taste amazing with my keto garlic knots. I like to dip the garlic knots in the stew – it is so good!
