Ingredientes
Instrucciones
- 1
Prep:
- 2
Pat salmon dry, season both sides with salt, pepper, smoked paprika; zest lemon.
- 3
Separate shimeji clusters and slice garlic/scallion if using.
- 4
Beat eggs with heavy cream, pinch salt and white pepper; set aside.
- 5
Butter-salted shimeji:
- 6
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter until foaming.
- 7
Add garlic (if using) briefly, then add shimeji. Sauté 3–5 minutes until edges color and moisture reduces.
- 8
Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil, season with flaky salt and pepper. Remove to a warm plate and keep covered.
- 9
Pan-fried salmon:
- 10
Heat a heavy skillet (cast-iron preferred) over medium-high. Add oil and heat until shimmering.
- 11
Place salmon skin-side down, press gently 10–15 seconds to lay flat. Cook 4–5 minutes skin-side until skin is crisp and salmon cooks two-thirds up the side.
- 12
Flip carefully, add 1 tbsp butter, baste for 1–2 minutes until cooked to medium (internal ~50–55°C / 122–131°F) or desired doneness. Remove, squeeze 1/2 tbsp lemon juice on top, let rest.
- 13
Omurice-style omelet:
- 14
Use a nonstick pan over medium-low. Add butter and let it foam.
- 15
Pour beaten eggs, swirl to cover the pan. As edges set, gently pull set edges toward center to let uncooked egg flow out.
- 16
If using the tomato paste mix, very lightly brush center with a thin smear.
- 17
When almost set but still soft on top, fold one-third over toward center, then roll/fold to form a slightly oblong omelet with a soft interior. Slide onto serving plate seam-side down. Garnish with herbs.
- 18
Finish & garnish:
- 19
Place salmon and shimeji beside the omelet. Sprinkle parsley/chives, add a lemon wedge. Optional drizzle of a few drops of toasted sesame oil over mushrooms only.
- 20
Use lemon and fresh herbs to cut richness.
- 21
Smoked paprika on salmon gives subtle warmth; replace with cayenne for heat.
- 22
A tiny amount of umami (soy/tamari) in mushrooms ties to salmon; keep minimal to preserve keto and sodium control.
- 23
If you want more crunch, add toasted almond slivers or crushed nori flakes as garnish.
- 24
Low-carb ingredients: eggs, salmon, mushrooms, butter—minimal carbs, high fat and moderate protein.
- 25
Optional tomato paste/ketchup substitute is kept tiny to avoid added carbs.
- 26
Meal supports ketosis by focusing on fats (butter, salmon oil), moderate protein, negligible carbs.
- 27
Salmon fillets, shimeji, eggs, butter, heavy cream, olive/avocado oil, lemon, parsley/chives, soy/tamari (optional), sesame oil (optional), garlic, scallion.
Backstory/note: As Dr. Kobe Keto, I love combining bold flavors with keto balance. This plate keeps carbs low, maximizes healthy fats, and layers umami and brightness for satisfying contrast.
