    MARINARA SAUCE MADE WITH AVOCADO OIL - Sounds Healthy and Delicious

    As you may know that my husband Ryan has been on Keto Diet for almost a whole year. You must be curious about the result, and just like other people – he loves it and it turns out great. He loses about 20 pounds, as well as feels more energetic and concentrated. Keto Diet is great, but when I ask him, what do you miss the most of the normal diet? He says without any hesitations – Pizza! I guess pizza is the food which is not only missed by Ryan, but also is missed by tons of people who are on diet. Especially my mother-in-law is Sicilian, how come could Ryan give up his family’s traditional food? No worries, pizza lovers. Let’s get great products that fit in your diet.

    For the pizza crust, we choose the Superfood low net carbs pizza crust from Real Good Pizza Co., it might be a little bit pricy. But come on guys, you don’t want to save money on the things that you build your body with. For the sauce, let’s face with the truth. I recommend my favorite brand ever – Primal Kitchen’s Tomato Basil Marinara Sauce.

    I have to say, we enjoyed our Pizza Dinner so much. For a “Keto Diet” wife, I admit I love the “normal pizza”. But a “Keto style” pizza like this, I think I even love it more – a healthy diet never hurts, plus it is so yummy. I will never complain about my husband diet any more. I love Keto pizza too!

    What else can you make with Primal Kitchen Tomato Basil Marinara Sauce for the Keto diet?

    Keto Chicken Parmesan

    Golden crisp on the outside with a moist, pleasantly chewable interior, doused in a sweet yet slightly acidic tomato sauce and blanketed in a thick cloak of clingy mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, chicken parmesan defines rustic Italian-American comfort food. Typically coated in white bread crumbs, deep-fried in canola or corn oil, and served sandwiched between a crusty Italian hero loaf or served atop a bed of spaghetti strands, traditional chicken parmesan is not keto, Primal/paleo, Whole30, or any other type of “clean” eating by any stretch. But, that may be beside the point. We eat comfort foods—those familiar childhood or late-night collegiate favorites—when we want to splurge, diet be damned.

    This recipe devised a compromise that’s both decadent and keto-friendly for those times when nothing but the real thing will do. This keto chicken parmesan is dredged in pulverized pork rinds, nestled in tangy tomato basil sauce, and topped with gooey bronzed cheese in a version which is better than the original. Check out the full recipe at here.

    Gluten-Free, Low-Carb Spaghetti with Tomato Basil Marinara

    Spaghetti or linguine with a large ladle of marinara is a staple side dish to classic Italian-American dishes like chicken or eggplant parmesan, a main-event meal when paired with meatballs, and even a standalone standby for kids when topped liberally with shredded parmesan.

    If you follow a low-carb diet, this quintessential easy-to-whip-up dish is either off the menu or made with spiralized veggie noodles.  Curly wisps of zucchini are recommended, yellow or butternut squash, carrot, and beet noodles and whip these up often, but there’s no denying that veggie noodles taste like veggies. If you’re looking for a rendition of spaghetti that’s low-carb, gluten-free, and low in calories, check out this version of low-carb spaghetti with marinara sauce made with hearts of palm noodles and topped with tangy, thick, slightly sweet, bright tomato sauce punctuated with basil. Check out the full recipe at here.

    In just five short years, Primal Kitchen has catapulted from a small but mighty natural foods start-up to an industry-disrupting leader in real-food condiments, dressings, sauces, snacks and pantry staples. There are also a lot of other recipes that you might be interested with Primal Kitchen’s sauces.

    The Best (and Easiest) Chicken Breast Marinades with Primal Kitchen

    Chicken breasts are some of the most popular sources of lean protein. According to Cronometer, one six-ounce skinless chicken breast contains about 295 calories, 53 grams of protein, nearly 8 grams of fat, 0 grams of carbs, and is rich in vitamins A, B3, and D, choline, phosphorous, potassium, and magnesium. Skinless chicken breasts are a “diet food” favorite, likely for their macronutrient makeup. Pictures come to mind of ’80s aerobics queens outfitted with leotards, leg warmers, and sweatbands keeping their feathered bangs off their sweaty foreheads and cutting their poached chicken breast up into tiny bites, or bodybuilders pushing to lean out and eating multiple grilled chicken breasts for the protein. Marinade chicken breasts with great marinade sauces is very important, adding some great extra flavors in to this healthy food. How about trying Primal Kitchen‘s healthy and delicious marinade sauces?

    Chicken breast recipes often include instructions for marinating the chicken because, well, skinless chicken breast meat can be bland and boring. You need to cook chicken until the internal temperature of the breast reaches 165ºF, but cooking it any more than that can result in dry, chewy meat.

    Marinades add flavor, moisture, and interest to chicken breasts. Chicken breast marinades can contain oil, salt and pepper, vinegar or citrus juice, fresh or dried herbs, seasonings, minced garlic, a sweetener (examples: honey, sugar, maple syrup), and sauces (examples: soy sauce, fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce).

    Chicken breasts can marinate for 30 minutes to a couple of hours or even overnight. Store marinated chicken breasts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

    Freeze uncooked marinated chicken breasts in resealable bags in the freezer for up to three months. Make sure to label the outside of the resealable bag with the contents and the date you prepared and froze the marinated chicken breast.

    How to Marinate Chicken

    Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl, and stir well. You can also put all of the marinade ingredients in a mason jar, screw the lid on tight, and shake up the mason jar. Place the chicken breast or chicken breasts in a glass container with an airtight lid, or in a resealable bag, and pour the marinade into the container. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.

    Remove the marinated chicken breasts from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature on the kitchen counter for 10–20 minutes. Preheat the oven, grill, or a skillet on the stove to cook your chicken breasts.

    4 Easy Keto Chicken Breast Marinade Recipes

    We love saving time in the kitchen. Meal prep can be time consuming, so we’ve cut the chopping and shopping down by using Primal Kitchen dressings and marinades as the supporting main ingredient in these chicken breast marinade recipes. Check out these fabulous four ideas with five or six ingredients that take five minutes or less to pull together.

    Citrus Chicken Marinade

    Ingredients

    Instructions

    To marinate: Place chicken breast in a glass container or resealable bag. Season with salt and pepper. Add Lemon Turmeric Vinaigrette and lemon slices. Cover or seal bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, and up to 24 hours.

    Balsamic Chicken Marinade

    Ingredients

    Instructions

    To marinate: Place chicken breast in a glass container or resealable bag. Season with salt and pepper. Add Balsamic Vinaigrette and basil. Cover or seal bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, and up to 24 hours.

    Sesame Ginger Chicken Marinade

    Ingredients

    Instructions

    To marinate: Place chicken breast in a glass container or resealable bag. Season with salt and pepper. Add Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette and sesame seeds. Cover or seal bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, and up to 24 hours.

    Cilantro Lime Chicken Marinade

    Ingredients

    Instructions

    To marinate: Place chicken breast in a glass container or resealable bag. Season with salt and pepper. Add Cilantro Lime Dressing, lime slices, and cilantro. Cover or seal bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, and up to 24 hours.

    Chicken Breast Cooking Instructions

    • In the oven: Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Place the chicken breast in an oven-safe cooking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes.
    • On the stove: Heat a teaspoon of avocado or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breast in the skillet and cook for 5–6 minutes on each side.
    • On the grill: Lightly oil the grill grates (do so carefully to avoid a flare up). Place the chicken breast on direct heat and cook for 7–8 minutes per side.

    Chicken Breast Cooking Tips

    1. Let the chicken breast warm up to room temperature once you remove it from the refrigerator. Depending on how warm your kitchen is, this can take 10–20 minutes. Taking the chill off your chicken will ensure more even cooking.
    2. Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the marinade; do not boil it or try to reuse it.
    3. To ensure your chicken breast is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature. Fully cooked chicken breast should read 165ºF.
    4. Let the chicken breast rest for 3–5 minutes after cooking before slicing it. This will help the chicken stay moist.

    My husband and I tried to marinade chicken breast with Buffalo sauce and Caesar Dressing & Marinade. Surprisingly, it worked out great! I mean, we love taking adventures to try different things, and we trust Primal Kitchen products a lot. They are healthy, tasty and save us a lot of time to make great food at home. Pandemic is annoying, but let’s make it better. At least, we can try to enjoy our home dining more by picking up the real good products.

    Primal Kitchen products are unlike any others that you’ll find in the grocery store. The entire collection aims to satiate exquisitely with real, simple, exceptional ingredients—like avocado oil, collagen, oil of oregano and apple cider vinegar—that contain no dairy, gluten, grain, refined sugar or soy.

    Food can lead you down a path of disease, pain and despair. It can lift you up to new heights so you can find the greatest amount of pleasure, joy and contentment from every moment possible. Enjoying excellent health and wellness, loving time with family and friends, valuing a good night’s sleep, relishing a brisk workout, appreciating better productivity at work, and savoring every bite of food you eat.

    Sip on The Scrumptious Taste of Snickerdoodle

    I love holiday coffees – pumpkin spice latte, peppermint mocha, eggnog latte… Sounds so yummy, but also sounds so guilty. I want to introduce this keto-friendly holiday coffee drink which delivers all of the flavors that you expect for the coming holiday – it is the Snickerdoodle Caramel Latte!

    Here is the recipe from Primal Kitchen. It is so simple, so tasty and the most important, you can drink it without feeling any guilty. It blends your milk of choice (this recipe used coconut), steamed, with hot drip coffee swirled with Primal Kitchen Snickerdoodle Collagen Fuel for a burst of cinnamon-sugar flavor. Top with real whipped cream, or coconut cream if you can’t tolerate dairy, a couple pinches of ground cinnamon, and a swirl of keto-friendly caramel. This Keto Snickerdoodle Caramel Coffee perches the angel and the devil on your shoulders, only for once they’re in silent agreement that you should sip and savor this fancy, seductive coffee drink in peace.

    Keto Snickerdoodle Caramel Coffee with Collagen

    Ingredients:

    • 6 ounces water
    • 2 Tbsp coffee grounds (I used Dope Coffee)
    • 1/4 cup (2.16 ounces) milk of your choice
    • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream or coconut cream
    • 1 scoop Primal Kitchen Snickerdoodle Collagen Fuel
    • 2 Tbsp keto caramel* (I used Monk fruit Sweetener for substitute)
    • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 1 cinnamon stick, if desired

    Equipment notes:

    • Use a 10- to 12-ounce mug for this recipe.
    • You’ll need a stand mixer or handheld beaters to whip the cream.
    • You’ll need a mason jar a French Press to steam the milk.

    Instructions:

    • Prepare coffee in a coffee maker, French press, or pour over coffee maker. While the coffee is brewing, steam the milk, and whip the cream.

    To make whipped cream:

    • Pour cream into stand mixer metal bowl fitted with the wire whisk attachment, or into a metal bowl with handheld beater whisks inserted into the cream.
    • Turn the mixer to medium speed.
    • Whip air into cream for about 3 minutes.

    To make steamed milk:

    • Mason jar + microwave method: Pour milk into a small mason jar, then screw the lid on tightly. Shake the jar (show it who’s boss) until the milk is frothy. Remove the lid and microwave the milk on medium-high power for 30 seconds. Remove milk and stir. Heat for another 15 seconds, then stir.
    • French Press method: Heat milk either in the microwave or on the stove (140ºF is the right temperature, in case you’re measuring). Pour milk into a clean French Press and push plunger up and down repeatedly until the milk doubles in volume.

    To assemble the coffee drink:

    • Add 1 scoop of Primal Kitchen Snickerdoodle Collagen Fuel to the bottom of your large mug.
    • Pour the hot coffee on top of the collagen.
    • Use a fork to whisk the collagen into the coffee until well combined. Pour the steamed milk over the coffee.
    • Top with whipped cream and keto caramel. Dust with ground cinnamon, and add a cinnamon stick, if desired.

    If you have a sweet tooth like me, you might be easily seduced by cookies—particularly homemade, barely-out-of-the-oven cookies. This is the perfect cookie condition; it’s in a state of a-little-more-cooked than cookie dough but not yet hardened by the room temperature air that cools it to a more crisp texture. This Primal Snickerdoodle Cookies strive to be that fusion of soft interior with an ever-so-slight crunch when the teeth tap into it.

    Primal Snickerdoodle Cookies

    Like a mom to multiple children, moms won’t pick a favorite cookie (at least not out loud, ha), but snickerdoodle cookies definitely top mom’s list of all-time fave classic cookies. Sweet, spicy, buttery, and soft, snickerdoodles are great year-round, but fit oh-so-well on holiday cookie plates and alongside a chai latte or pumpkin spice latte when the days get shorter and the air gets more crisp in the fall.

    Ingredients

    • 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter
    • 5 Tbsp Brown Sugar Swerve
    • 1 cup almond flour
    • 2 1/2 tsp full-fat coconut milk
    • 1/4 tsp baking soda
    • Pinch of salt
    • 1/3 cup + 1 1/2 tsp Primal Kitchen Snickerdoodle Collagen Fuel

    Roll cookie balls in:

    • 2 Tbsp granular monk fruit or Swerve
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

    Instructions

    • Cut cold butter into small chunks. Place the butter in a bowl and add in the Swerve and almond flour. Use the back of a fork or a food processor to work the butter into the sweetener.
    • Add in the coconut milk, baking soda, vanilla extract, salt, and Collagen Fuel, and mix with the fork.
    • Form dough into 8 balls. Roll in cinnamon-sweetener.
    • Line a cookie sheet with parchment. Place the dough balls on the parchment-lined cookie sheet and put in the freezer for 30 minutes.
    • Preheat oven to 325ºF. Remove cookie sheet from the freezer. Bake cookies on the middle rack for 10-12 minutes (until balls have just melted flat and aren’t risen in center).
    • Remove cookies from the oven. While still hot, gently lift parchment (with cookies still on it). Take a glass or small bowl that is slightly larger than the cookies and gently swirl it around the cookies to bring the edges in tight and make perfect circles.
    • Allow to cool before removing from from the cookie sheet with a spatula.

    COLLAGEN FUEL® Drink Mix – Snickerdoodle

    Satisfy your sweet tooth with cinnamon: PRIMAL KITCHEN® COLLAGEN FUEL® Drink Mix now comes in Snickerdoodle!

    Thanksgiving Leftover Recipes from Primal Kitchen

    Whether you entertained many at a big family affair, friendsgiving, or neighborhood potluck, or you kept it more intimate and close to home this year, Thanksgiving leftovers happen. If you loosened the belt buckle a few notches or premeditated a few extra servings and you wore your Thanksgiving pants to dinner (remember Joey’s super stretchy sweatpants on Friends?), then you may not be in the mood to heat-and-eat the exact same leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner the next day or two.

    You can pile a little bit of all of the savory leftovers into a wrap or sandwich, or stuff it into a casserole dish with a little extra gravy and a prayer that it’ll turn into something more attractive when it’s heated.

    You can also take individual leftover ingredients and reimagine something new with them—leftover baked or boiled potatoes can become potato salad with bacon or slices of sweet potato toast that you smear with mashed avocado and top with a fried egg.

    Leftover Turkey Recipe

    Rotisserie Chicken Salad

    This 15-minute, no cook chicken salad recipe uses an entire rotisserie chicken, a few pantry items, chopped produce, and bacon for smoky saltiness. Perfect for meal prep for a few days of lunches or an easy no-cook dinner for four on a busy weeknight, this rotisserie chicken salad melds the herby tang of our Ranch Dressing with the creamy richness of Primal Kitchen’s Mayo with Avocado Oil, and the spatter of sharp black pepper with a little sweet from chopped apple, a little bite from chopped onion, and the crisp, clean crunch of celery.

    This template is easy to switch up, too, according to what you have available in your pantry and fridge. Don’t have celery? Use chopped raw green beans or shaved asparagus instead. Don’t have a white onion? Use chopped scallions or shallots. Sub a pear or even pecans, cashews, or sunflower seeds of the apple. You can also use any creamy Primal Kitchen dressing to switch things up (try Dreamy Italian or Green Goddess). Serve in butter lettuce cups for a handheld lunch or dinner that requires nothing else but a napkin.

    Calories: 503

    Carbs: 11 grams

    Fat: 42 grams

    Protein: 27 grams

    Ingredients

    Instructions

    • Remove all of the meat from the bones of the rotisserie chicken, and place in a large bowl (it’s OK if some of the skin is left on the meat).
    • Save the chicken carcass to make chicken bone broth. You can place the bones in a resealable freezer-safe bag to freeze for later use.
    • Wash and dry the leaves of the butter lettuce. Divide the leaves into bundles of about 4 lettuce leaves per bundle.
    • To the bowl with the rotisserie chicken, add mayo, ranch dressing, black pepper, onion, celery, apple, and bacon. Mix well to combine.

    Leftover Potato Recipe

    Classic Potato Salad with Bacon

    Classic American potato salad is the perfect picnic partner to accompany almond-crusted chicken tenders, butter lettuce salad, and homemade lemonade. Its creamy, slightly tangy flavor shines on the side of barbecue faves like pulled pork, smoked turkey or chicken, and salmon sizzling with smoky-sweet barbecue sauce. Bring it into the backyard to serve alongside grilled burgers, chicken thighs, hot dogs, and ribs.

    • Mix mayo and mustard together in a large bowl. Add potatoes, bacon, and dill. Mix gently until just combined.
    • Refrigerate potato salad for an hour before serving.

    Easy, Juicy Thanksgiving Turkey with Primal Kitchen’s Avocado Oil and Vinegar Vinaigrette & Marinade

    The bane of many American home cooks’ existence on the fourth Thursday of every year, the Thanksgiving turkey can evoke anxiety-riddled dreams days before the feast, cause smoky backyard fires when deep-fried carelessly, and be a lackluster, dry, and tasteless centerpiece when not prepared and cooked properly. Whether it’s a family affair or friendsgiving, every cook hopes to barge out of the humid, war-torn battlefield that was once a kitchen to present a bronzed, shiny bird with crackled, tan skin and moist, tender meat, place it on the dining table, savor the gasps and applause from ravenous guests, then collapse into a chair to chug a glass of chardonnay.

    Save yourself the turkey drama this year and any frantic calls to turkey hotlines (yes, this is actually a thing) by learning this easy injection method. This recipe used a meat injector syringe to add Primal Kitchen’s acidic, herby, and well-seasoned Avocado Oil & Vinegar Vinaigrette to the interior of the turkey, and slathered the bird in room-temperature melted butter to ensure even browning and plenty of moisture. This turkey cooking method doesn’t include adjusting oven temperatures, helicopter babysitting and basting in timed increments (only one round of basting with melted butter recommended in the last hour of roasting for our method), or flipping a half-cooked, dripping bird inelegantly in the roasting pan.

    You might feel a bit like a mad scientist, plunging vinaigrette into the turkey, but it beats brining the bird for a day or two in a ridiculously large container that doesn’t fit in the refrigerator. Get that needle, buy the bird and two bottles of Primal Kitchen’s Avocado Oil & Vinegar Vinaigrette.

    Easy, Juicy Thanksgiving Turkey

    Time: about 17 hours

    Servings: 14–15

    Nutritional information (per serving; approximate about 15 servings for a 14-pound bird):

    Calories: 702

    Carbs: 0.5 grams

    Fat: 41 grams

    Protein: 79 grams

    What you need:

    • 1 14-pound turkey (We used a ButcherBox all-natural turkey fed an all-vegetable diet)
    • 1 ½ cups Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil & Vinegar Vinaigrette & Marinade*
    • Plenty of salt
    • 1 large onion, quartered
    • 4 apples, sliced
    • 4 carrots, cut into 3”-long pieces
    • 4 celery stalks, cut into 3”-long pieces
    • 12 garlic cloves, separated
    • 6 sprigs fresh rosemary
    • 10 stems fresh thyme
    • 10 stems fresh sage
    • 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
    • Freshly cracked black pepper

    *You’ll need 2 bottles of Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil & Vinegar Vinaigrette for a 14-pound turkey.

    Equipment

    • 1 Meat Injector Syringe (The recipe used this one.)
    • 1 large meat roasting pan with metal grate
    • 1 roll aluminum foil
    • 1 turkey baster
    • Blender
    • Meat thermometer

    Instructions

    The night before you roast the turkey…

    • If frozen, make sure the turkey is thawed completely before starting preparation process.
    • Remove giblets and neck from body cavity of turkey and rinse turkey thoroughly with cool water. Pat turkey dry completely with paper towels.
    • Blitz Avocado Oil & Vinegar Vinaigrette in a blender for 10–15 seconds.
    • Pour vinaigrette into injection syringe, and start poking the needle into the flesh of the turkey and injecting the vinaigrette inside the bird.
    • You want to insert the needle just far enough into the meat that the vinaigrette doesn’t just run out of the bird. Add more vinaigrette to the syringe as necessary until you’ve evenly injected vinaigrette all over the bird. Plan to make about 30–40 injections into a large bird.

    The day you want to roast the turkey…

    • Place the turkey in the refrigerator, covered, if desired, for about 12 hours to allow the vinaigrette to distribute throughout the bird.
    • Remove turkey from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature on the counter, about 20 minutes or so.
    • Season the turkey liberally inside and outside with salt.
    • Place cut onions, apples, carrots, celery, garlic, and half of the herbs inside of the cavity of the turkey. Scatter any remaining fruit, veggies, and herbs onto the bottom of the turkey roasting pan.
    • Place stuffed turkey on top of the roasting rack.
    • Preheat oven to 325ºF.
    • In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt better. Set aside to cool.
    • Pour half of the melted butter on top of the bird. Massage butter onto the outside skin of the turkey with your hands so that it’s completely coated.
    • Grind fresh cracked black pepper on top of the turkey.
    • Place a tent of aluminum foil over the turkey and place in the oven. Roast for approximately 15 minutes per pound. For our 14-pound bird, we roasted it in the oven for about 3.5 hours total.
    • About one hour before the cooking time is done for the size of your turkey, remove the aluminum foil tent.
    • Baste the turkey with remaining melted butter, and allow to roast and brown for another hour.
    • When the cooking time is complete, remove the turkey from the oven.
    • Insert a meat thermometer inside the breast of the turkey (away from any bone) and read the temperature. A reading of 173ºF indicates that the turkey is fully cooked.
    • Allow the turkey to rest for 20–30 minutes before carving (you can tent it with aluminum foil again to keep it warm).

    Perfect 4-Ingredient Keto Deviled Eggs

    Simple, handheld, real-food snacks that even kids enjoy, deviled eggs are great keto, Primal/paleo, Whole30, and vegetarian (if you eat eggs) options that can be made in advance, packed in to-go containers, and served with just about any outdoor dining or picnic menu recipe. The crumbly sunshine-yellow egg yolks need little else but a few dabs of mayo made with avocado oil, dijon mustard, and maybe a bit of salt (if desired) to enhance their rich flavor without altering their gorgeous golden color.

    Perfect deviled eggs aren’t always easy to produce, but following a tried-and-true method of cooking hard boiled eggs can ensure that you get the perfect sunny, firm yolks and yielding yet solid egg whites. Try our method (see How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs) below to get perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs.

    Ingredients

    Instructions

    • Please refer to the method outlined above for cooking hard boiled eggs. Once your eggs have cooked and cooled, peel the eggs carefully and discard the shells. Tip: Keep the egg shells and place in the dirt or soil of any vegetable plants you have. The calcium and other minerals in the shells will enrich the soil.
    • Cut the peeled eggs in half. Gently scoop out the egg yolks from the whites, and place the egg yolks in a bowl. Add mustard and mayo to the egg yolks, and stir well to combine. Mash up the egg yolks with the back of a fork to get a smooth yolk.
    • If you’d like a fancier presentation, place the smooth egg yolk mixture in a piping bag or a resealable bag. Seal the bag and snip off the bottom corner on the bag. Place the egg whites on a plate or platter, and pipe the egg yolk mixture into the holes in the egg whites. Or, you can spoon the egg yolk mixture into the holes in the egg whites.
    • Dust the deviled eggs with paprika. Store any leftover deviled eggs in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    Keto & Whole30 Dijon Mustard Salmon

    A tasty one sheet-pan lunch or dinner main dish that’s keto, Whole30, Primal/paleo, family-friendly, less than 10 ingredients, and ready in less than 30 minutes? You’ll want to add this dijon mustard salmon recipe to your regular dinner and meal prep rotation (note: It’s delicious cold). Most baked salmon recipes include panko or seasoned breadcrumbs in the topping that gets spooned on generously before baking, but our grain-free sauce uses only a mixture of dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest or juice, thyme, garlic, and salt and pepper to flavor the wild-caught salmon filet. All it takes is about five minutes of preparation before you can slide the salmon into the oven and let it do all the work.

    To make a full 25-minute dinner or lunch, roast vegetables on another sheet pan. Simply cut the vegetables you’d like to roast about the same size, toss with about a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper, and roast while you prepare and bake the salmon. Vegetable side dishes that roast in about 25 minutes include: asparagus, cherry tomatoes, green beans, shredded Brussels sprouts, small cubes of eggplant or zucchini.

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 375ºF.
    • Add thyme to a bowl. Add dijon mustard, lemon zest or juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
    • Place salmon fillet skin-side down on a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Make sure all bones are removed (run your hand over the salmon to feel for any bones). Spread the mustard mixture on top of the salmon, coating it generously.

    • Place salmon in the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes. Remove from oven, and serve right away.
