Perfect Purple Salmon on Lo-Dough
...just in time for Purple Day!
Omega 3-rich salmon, salad and Lo-Dough make for a delicious, low-calorie, low-carb meal that will bring a huge smile to your face. If you are on a keto diet, this one is definitely for you.
It makes for a perfect spread to share with friends and family, or can be something you keep in your fridge and go back to throughout the week.
Remember to plan ahead with this one - the fish and curing mix will need to sit in the fridge for 36-48 hours before it's ready to eat.
The nutritional information stated below is approximate as the thickness of salmon and the exact length of time spent in cure may vary. If being cautious, try to keep the curing time down to 36 hours. This will cure the salmon safely for consumption, but will impart less of the actual cure into the flesh of the fish.
