Keto Salmon Recipe that has smoked salmon swimming in a sun-dried tomato cream sauce with tender broccoli. This weeknight dinner is our absolutely favorite in a pinch.

Not sure what began this keto cheese sauce obsession.. all I know, is I cannot get enough of these types of dinner. I make so many different versions with this cheese sauce and play around with it when I might be missing an ingredient or two. Well this Keto Salmon Dinner recipe is the result.

I had smoked salmon in the fridge, broccoli and tomatoes… why don’t we put it all together in a cream cheese sauce?! Exactly WHY NOT!

The smoked salmon gives an added smoky flavor to the sauce and paired with the sundried tomatoes it is just perfection paired with satisfying.

Spoon over some cauliflower rice or low carb pasta if you wish. For me a serving of this is extremely satisfying and filling.

How to Make sure your Cheese Sauce turns out right and doesn’t separate.

Sometimes depending on the ingredients or process your sauce will end up separating. Below are some ways to help avoid that from happening.

1. Quality– using high quality ingredients is actually really important for this recipe. Higher quality ingredients tend to have more fat and are not processed as much in terms of added ingredients. Quality ingredients are more predictable.
2. Beware of water– Depending on the quality of ingredients just even a tiny bit of water will have the sauce separate on you. Which goes back to quality ingredients. If you are using lower quality cheese especially I would not pour your steamed veggies into the sauce as this is almost a guarantee it will separate on you.
3. Heat– You want the heat to be low enough to thicken our cream BUT not hot enough that it is rolling bubbling. Having it too hot will cause your sauce to burn and/or separate.
4. When it is done– When begins to thickenÂand you stir the sauce should stay apart for a couple seconds before folding back into itself. If it doesn’t do this, continue to cook on a low simmer until more water is evaporated from the sauce.

From our experience much of the fails for this cheese sauce can be attributing to cheap ingredients.

NOTE: This sauce will separate when reheating it back up for leftovers. This personally doesn’t bother me but it is worth mentioning that if it is something that does bother you then don’t make this for meal-preps.

Fortunately, this Keto Salmon Dinner recipe is made in under 30 minutes that you really don’t have to do too much planning ahead when you need something quick to eat on a weeknight.
