Recipe: Keto Parmesan Crusted Salmon
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions:

- In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, chopped parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Dip each fillet into the melted butter, then coat both sides with the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
