Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • Optional for Serving:
  • Steamed cauliflower rice or regular rice
  • Extra parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the salmon bites with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon bites and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, melt the butter and sauté the garlic for 30 seconds.
  4. Add the cream and lemon juice. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  5. Return the salmon to the pan and coat in the creamy garlic butter sauce.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over cauliflower rice or greens.

Notes

  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter sauce for an extra kick.
  • This recipe can be made dairy-free by using coconut cream and vegan butter.
  • For an extra creamy texture, add more cream to the sauce as desired.
