Keto Zone Almond Crusted Salmon with Side Salad

Don Colbert, MD February 17, 2019

Do you eat enough healthy omega-3 fats on the ketogenic diet?

Omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA have been shown to lower inflammation and support the health of the cardiovascular and nervous systems.

These important healthy fats are not found in many foods, so it can be hard to get enough of them in your diet. That is why it is so important to eat wild-caught cold water fish such as salmon, sardines, anchovies, and tuna when you are on the Keto Zone Diet.

These fatty cold water fish are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids. To help you get enough of these vital nutrients in your diet, we are sharing this simple and delicious almond crusted salmon recipe.

In order to make sure you are not deficient in omega-3 fats, you can also supplement with our Iced Krill Oil formula. It is a potent and bioavailable source of EPA and DHA without any fishy flavor or smell. Get yours here: Living Krill Oil
