Keto Glazed Garlic Salmon Recipe
Keto Glazed Garlic Salmon Recipe is top notch!!! The key to making this glaze sugar free and keto friendly is to use a keto syrup or sweetener you like.
I used ChocZero peach syrup in this recipe. I’ve also used a keto friendly honey substitute too. Some syrups tend to be watery but not these two options. You do have to be careful with the oven temperatures when using these keto friendly syrup options because they tend to burn at higher temperatures. We partially cook the salmon in a frying pan on the stove top while basting the juices on the salmon but finish it in the oven to fully cook it.
Be sure to taste the sauce a bit before adding the salmon to it. By tasting the sauce you can determine if it’s to the level of sweet and savory that you like. If you want more sweet flavor, you can always add more of your favorite keto sweetener or syrup right before adding the salmon.
Salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Be very careful not to overcook it because it can become dry and dense.
This recipe does not do well as leftovers. I make the exact amount we plan to eat that day. If we do have leftovers, I warm it a bit and add it on top of my salad for lunch the next day. I don’t ever plan on having leftovers with salmon because fish of any kind doesn’t store well. It’s one day max for leftovers for this type of meal.

It’s important enough to mention that you can use parchment paper to help with the pan clean up. It is a sticky mess once it’s all done. I have started using parchment paper after I first made this recipe. It’s the keto sweetener that blackens and becomes really, really sticky and not fun to clean up.
I hope you enjoy this keto friendly recipe as much as we do! Next, I’m going to try and make this same recipe in the air fryer or the instant pot. I will let you know how it turns out in a future post.
