Salmon BLT Keto Sandwich

This keto Salmon BLT is an awesome low-carb and grain-free sandwich! There’s quite a few variations you could do as well:

• Mix chipotles in adobo into the mayo
• Add chile powder and lime juice to the mayo
• Add fresh or roasted garlic to the mayo
• Add sliced avocado to the sandwich
• Add a slice of cheese such as cheddar, provolone or manchego

I could go on and on with a million different ideas, leave yours in the comments below!

We used the all-time favorite Keto Buns recipe for the bread here and they are perfect! I love keeping a batch of the on hand during the week for easy sandwiches. This low-carb bread recipe is ideal for meal prep and healthy lunchboxes.

With less than 6 grams of net carbs, over 40 grams of protein and 60 grams of fat, this meal is ideal for those who practice intermittent fasting and need a nutritious meal to break their fasting window.

Step-by-step

1. Preheat grill pan or skillet to high heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the oil to the skillet then crisp up the bacon.

2. Sear the salmon skin side down for 5 minutes until it easily releases from the pan. Flip and cook 2 more minutes. Remove and set aside.

   

3. To assemble, slice the bun in half and layer in the lettuce, salmon, onion, tomato, bacon, and mayonnaise.

   

4. Serve immediately.

   

5. The sandwich is best eaten fresh but can be stored in a lunchbox in the fridge for up to a day. The buns can be stored ay room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
