Could you use a fresh new way to serve salmon for dinner? Consider baking salmon in the oven with a quick homemade cilantro pesto bursting with lime and cilantro flavors, but also has parmesan cheese and pine nuts like traditional pesto. Once baked, the pesto caramelizes over the fish, for a flavorful keto salmon dish! If you love eating salmon at restaurants, yet have been intimidated to cook it at home, never fear!

And just for fun, I’ve topped the whole spread with pork rinds for a salty extra bit of crunch! holding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard over a bowl of chicken Hip Tips: Make the topping as crunchy as you’d like! I love a big crunch so I kept some of my pork rinds in big chunks to really add crispiness to the topping. However, you can crush them down further to have more of a breadcrumb texture. Not a fan of pork rinds? Try adding bacon crumbles over top to add some crunch and saltiness. yield: 6 SERVINGS prep time: 15 MINUTES cook time: 1 HOUR 20 MINUTES total time: 1 HOUR 35…

I can’t think of any better way to kick up the flavor on what could be an otherwise boring piece of chicken than with a heavy hand of Everything but the Bagel seasoning. This keto chicken tenders recipe will be the talk of any table. Better yet, I guarantee they’ll win over the picky eaters in your household as well! Hip Recipe Tips: You might be surprised by the lack of salt in the homemade Everything Bagel seasoning I incorporated into the recipe below, but the salty nature of the pork rinds provide plenty of flavor for this recipe. Keep in mind that I used the Epic pork rinds sea salt and pepper variety. If you have Everything Bagel seasoning on hand, you can use 3 tablespoons in place of making your own. Just make sure to eliminate the crushed pork rinds all together to avoid the chicken tenders turning out too salty. Crisp up these chicken tenders in two ways: bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes OR in the air fryer at 360 degrees for 10 minutes. Pair these crispy and flavorful Everything bagel chicken tenders with one of our keto-friendly sauces or dips. yield: 4 SERVINGS prep time: 2 MINUTES cook time: 18…
