This Keto Salmon with Roasted Broccoli recipe was basically my lifeline during my elimination diet—especially on nights when I had zero energy left after work, mom-ing, and trying to not cry in the kitchen (just being honest).
It’s a one-pan meal, it’s done in under 20 minutes, and it made me feel like I had my life together, even if the day said otherwise.

I used parchment paper liners in my air fryer or on a baking sheet—highly recommend if dishes aren’t your love language. I could pop this in the oven, toss some sweet potato fries in for the family, and by the time everyone finished washing their hands (or not), dinner was ready. 🙌
Also, don’t sleep on leftover salmon. It’s so good over a bed of mixed greens the next day. I’d just flake it cold over salad, toss in whatever veggies I had, and drizzle with some avocado oil and lemon juice. Done.
📋 Ingredients:
- 2 salmon fillets (4 oz each)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Sea salt, to taste
🔥 Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (or fire up your air fryer).
- Line a baking sheet or air fryer basket with parchment paper.
- Toss broccoli with half the olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Spread on one side of the sheet.
- Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with salt and garlic powder.
- Roast for 15–18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily and the broccoli has crispy edges.
- Let cool slightly and serve!
👩👧👦 Family-Friendly Add-Ons:
- Sweet potato fries for the fam? Toss ’em in the oven or air fryer at the same temp.
- Got picky eaters? Swap broccoli for green beans or carrots—they roast up just as well.
- Want it saucy? Mix avocado mayo with a little lemon juice and dill for a creamy drizzle.
