How to make Keto Arugula Salmon Roll?

  • Process: In a food processor, combine everything except for the fish and cream cheese. You may want to process the leaves and nuts first before adding the rest of the ingredients to even out the mixture.
  • Bake: In a sheet pan, pour the fluid mixture into an even layer. Pop it in the oven for 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Refrigerate: Allow the solid layer to cool down and top it with a layer of the cream cheese and another layer of the fish. Then, roll it up and secure it with the parchment paper. Refrigerate the whole thing until set.
  • Serve: Unwrap it and slice into your desired thickness. Serve cold.

  • dairy: Greek yogurt, mascarpone, other cheeses
  • others: horseradish, mustard, onions, lemon zest, lemon juice, peppers

Can you make it in advance?

Yes! Since this is best served cold, you can make it way in advance to keep it chilled. Up to 5 hours in advance, you can prepare this dish and keep it covered in the fridge.

Recipe Tips:

  • You may also choose to not include the arugula in the egg mixture. Instead, add the leaves as a layer.
  • Change up the protein by using ham, prosciutto, turkey slices, or bacon if you like.
  • In addition, feel free to add avocado slices to make it heartier! These are also rich in good fats that are perfect for your ketogenic diet.
  • Aside from pine nuts, you may want to use sunflower seeds or sesame seeds.
  • If you are not watching your carbs intake, you may want to use flour tortillas instead of using the egg wrap. Or, make a tortilla that is keto-friendly!
  • Be gentle as you add salt because the fish may be salty enough.
  • Also, if you want to make it more festive on the plate, cut the pieces diagonally. And serve them on a bed of arugula.

I want to try to make this, but what SIZE is the sheet pan? Also, is the parmesan for binding purposes or just flavour? I ask because if it's for binding, I need to include it, but if it's for taste, then I can leave it out (since I don't like this type of cheese). Thanks!
