Keto creamy salmon and bell pepper recipe

This is definitely one of my favorite salmon dishes that comes together fast and ends up being so delicious. This keto creamy salmon and bell pepper recipe hits all the right spots but uses almond milk instead of heavy cream and the parmesan cheese puts it all together nice and creamy good.

You can use heavy cream but since I had the almond milk available along with the garlic, Italian seasonings and parmesan, it turned out well and actually thicker than i expected.

Why is salmon a good ingredient for diabetics?

Salmon is an excellent choice for diabetics due to its low carbohydrate content and rich nutritional profile. As a source of high-quality protein, it helps with satiety and weight management, both crucial for controlling diabetes. Additionally, salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to reduce inflammation, improve heart health, and lower triglyceride levels—key benefits since diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular issues.

Beyond its protein and omega-3 content, salmon provides essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin D, B vitamins, and selenium. These nutrients support immune function, energy metabolism, and have antioxidant properties. The anti-inflammatory effects of omega-3s in salmon can also help combat the chronic inflammation often associated with diabetes, making it a valuable addition to a balanced diet.
