Making low carb simple
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), preferably using the broiler setting.
Cut the broccoli into smaller florets and let simmer in lightly salted water for a couple of minutes. Make sure the broccoli maintains its chewy texture and delicate color.
Drain the broccoli and discard the boiling water. Set aside, uncovered, for a minute or two to allow the steam to evaporate.
Place the drained broccoli in a well-greased baking dish. Add butter and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle cheese on top of the broccoli and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese turns a golden color.
In the meantime, season the salmon with salt and pepper, and fry in plenty of butter, a few minutes on each side. The lime can be fried in the same pan or be served raw. This step can also be made on an outdoor grill.
Tip!
You can substitute the broccoli for other vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, green beans or asparagus with little to no change to the amount of carbs in the dish.If you want to use another kind of fish we primarily recommend other fatty fishes such as trout or mackerel but you can also go with white fish if you prefer.If you don't like cheddar you can use a mix of different cheeses. Half mozzarella and half parmesan will be just as good!

Do you mean "broil" the fish, which usually means cooking in an oven under the direct heat of the broiler element?
Or do you mean sautéing in a frying pan on a stove top as the description seems to indicate?

This would be my exact question as well. Is the salmon fried in butter while the broccoli is broiled?

No, they mean par-boil the broccoli then put it in the over at 400 with butter, black pepper and cheese for 15 min.
Pan fry salmon separately in butter.

This recipe sounds wonderful. I think I'm going to try sprinkling real parmesan cheese on the broccoli instaed of cheddar, for the extra protein :)

Would you use the same amount of olive oil, if you didn't want to use butter?

You may need to experiment and start with a smaller amount and add more as needed. This recipe has not been tested with olive oil.

Can you fry the broccoli instead? If you have no oven?

This recipe has not been tested completely on the stove top. It may be difficult to get the broccoli and cheese cooked the right way without getting burned.

This recipe was great. The salmon was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The broiled broccoli with cheddar was so yummy. I will make this dish again very soon. Thank you Diet Doctor.

I wonder isn't 6 oz. of salmon too much for 1 serving? This is 170 grams of protein... I am confused - I thought the permitted amount of protein per day is about 100 grams. Please advise. Thank you!

6 oz salmon is only 34g protein (may vary by origin).

Just cook it however you want, fry it, bake it, broil it, broccoli should probably be steamed though.

Tried this out today and made it for my parents and my sister - everyone absolutely loved it and even I was extremely impressed with the dish. I have cooked salmon in the past and always ended up either burning it or over cooking it but thanks to this I managed to cook it to perfection.

This was the best recipe I've tried so far in DD. I don't like broccoli that much, but baked and with cheese, its really delicious. And it complemented with salmon really good. I will be doing it again for sure

Wonderful! I enjoy changing this one up by using different cheeses.

Never really liked cooked salmon and I substituted half baby broccoli and half asparagus (which I had as a child and hated, but I was feeling risky). Freaking delicious, the buttery crispy fry on the salmon was awesome and the greens were really good too. Very surprised, great recipe.

At Diet Doctor, we have an international audience. While for some people, salmon may be harder to source and more expensive, for others, it can be a more budget friendly and easier to obtain protein.
