Why You’ll Love this Recipe
Oh hi. I guess I forgot to say hello – yes I still live! It’s been awhile, I know, but disrupting the spice industry is tough business and keeps me far far away from my kitchen and especially my camera. I had a few minutes tonight so I thought I’d whip out the ole Canon and shoot something delicious. It’s my happy place. And I’ve missed blogging…and you all.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Fresh Salmon Fillets – or salmon steaks, cooking time will vary
- Italian or Greek Seasoning – or if you’re feeling wild, any flavorful seasoning will work (make sure it’s sugar free if you are low-carb/keto conscious)
- Butter – grass fed butter is best, but any type will work
- Garlic Cloves – freshly minced garlic cloves
- Heavy Cream – heavy cream or double cream
- Parmesan cheese – freshly grated is always best
- Fresh Basil – for garnish, optional.
One of the things that’s changed with me in the past year is that I’ve been off and on keto. I wish I could say that I am all good all the time, but somedays I’m not so good. When I’m on I feel soooooo incredible. I’d love to hear what your favorite recipes are in the comments if you’re keto.

How to Make Baked Salmon in Cream
- Preheat oven to 375º F.Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Place the salmon fillets in the dish and sprinkle with Greek seasoning. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan add the butter, garlic, cream and parmesan. Heat over medium heat until the cheese melts and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from the heat and pour into the baking dish.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking (I like mine slightly pink in the center which is about the 15 min mark). Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil and serve.
This recipe is my new go-to and will be on the menu rotation going forward because it’s so darned easy to make. I whipped up some cheesy mashed cauliflower and some steamed broccoli and dinner was on the table in 25 minutes. No kidding. You could also make my Super Creamy Mashed Potatoes in place of the cauli-mash.

Hi! I’m Heather
I’m Heather, a recipe developer and content creator based in Vancouver, Washington. I started Farmgirl Gourmet in 2006 because I believed weeknight dinners shouldn’t be boring and gourmet shouldn’t mean complicated. I’m also the co-founder of Spiceology, so safe to say I think about food for a living. Stick around for recipes that actually make it into your regular rotation.
My husband said this is his favorite salmon recipe I’ve made so far. I am new to the salmon world since my Dr said I neednto eat more of it. This recipe can be used for anyntyoenof fish or shrimp IMO. It’s delicious, quick, and easy!
Easy and DELICIOUS!!! I did not have the suggested seasoning, so I used Traeger’s Fin and Feather. I also skipped the garlic.
So glad you enjoyed it Barb. I’m sure that Traeger blend was just as fab. ◡̈
