5 Ingredients, 5 Carbs or Fewer!
Dinner can be the hardest part of the day. After long hours of work or school, it can be quite a daunting task to come home and cook for yourself, much less a hungry family! Factor in eating healthy and your options can become limited. It’s fun to shake things up for dinner but many low carb dinner recipes call for ingredients you’ve never even heard of.
That’s why Rami and I set out to create a month’s worth of delicious low carb dinner recipes that can all be made in
5 ingredients and are all 5 net carbs and under!
And so our first ecookbook was born – Dinner in Five, 30 low carb dinners that are sure to satisfy.

| Servings: servings |
- 2 6 oz. salmon fillets
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 lime
- 2 tbsp red onion (diced)
- 100 grams cauliflower
- First, rice your cauliflower by pulsing it in a food processor until it resembles rice. Cook it in a lightly oiled pan, covered, for 8 minutes.
- In a food processor, blend together an avocado, the juice of 1/2 a lime and diced red onion until smooth and creamy.
- Heat a skillet with some oil and cook your salmon fillet skin side down for about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper while it's cooking.
- Flip the salmon and continue to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
- Once it's cooked, serve it over a bed of the cauliflower rice and a generous dollop of your avocado lime sauce.

2 6 oz. salmon fillets。。。it’s means 2oz or 6oz ????
It means 12 oz. total. 2 fillets each weighing 6 oz. Hope that helps!
Hi Vicki do you ever see your self going off a low-carb diet ?
Hey Stacey, that’s a great question!
Besides the occasional treat, I really don’t see myself eating tons of carbs again. The way I feel when I’m keto is reason enough to stick with it. The incredible amount of research showing the detrimental effects of carbs, especially from the processed garbage we’ve been eating for decades, is scary and really cements this way of eating in my mind. It makes sense, it feels great and it’s amazing to see more and more people “seeing the light”, so to speak.
I think that comes with the diet actually. If you stick with it, your taste buds and mind will shift to this new life and won’t be able to imagine eating differently. That’s kind of great!
Why do you ask? 🙂
Wow, this looks tasty and super easy. Love a recipe that gets on the table fast – especially one with salmon!
