- Place salmon in the prepared baking dish and roast for about 30 minutes.
- Cut salmon to serving-sized pieces.
* Can also be placed in a slow-cooker, and cooked on low for 2-3 hours, depending on degree of “doneness” desired.
** Serve with rice (½ cup / 100 gm cooked = 1 carb serving) and a salad of greens (1 cup greens / 240 gm = 1 carb serving; 1 Tbsp. dressing / 15 ml = 1 fat serving).

I usually cook salmon in the microwave between two plates……..3 mins ! Delicious. ?
Hi, Laura. We suggest 2-3 hour on the low setting (depending on how “done” you like the salmon).
If you choose to slow cook and use a crock pot, how long do you cook? Thanks!
Hi, June. Monk fruit is a natural sweetener found in health-oriented shops and even online in powder and syrup (liquid) form. However, it has a bit of an aftertaste and so might not be to your liking. I suggest you try something like inulin (http://www.justlikesugar.com) or xylitol, which is used in sugarless gum (also found in health-oriented shops and available online, including through Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=xylitol&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Axylitol).
What is monk fruit syrup? never heard of it. Where can you get it?
can’t use any kind of artificial sugar…even stevia. Any suggestions? it makes me sick and has a terrible aftertaste.
Hi, uhenze. The Stevia syrup can be omitted altogether, or replaced with monk fruit syrup or coconut nectar.
Hi, Mizmic. It is indeed for 4 servings. Thanks!
Hi, Liz. Salmon is indeed a good source of omega-3!
Is there any substitute for stevia syrup
Is there a mistake in the number of servings? If it makes five servings, why do we cut the filet into quarters initially? Or is each quarter cut into five servings? This could make a huge difference in how much is being consumed in each serving, and one twentieth of a pound of salmon isn’t very much food!
I LOVE THIS RECIPE, VERY TASTY AND SALMON IS A GOOD SOURCE OF OMEGA 3 (I THINK).
Hi, sakindona. Organic whole cane sugar is a better choice than regular sugar or any of the sugary syrups, such as agave, honey, or maple. Coconut sugar (no coconut taste) is the best of the sugars.
Is organic cane sugar okay to use?
Agave is not generally recommended in the program because it is mostly fructose, which works against your efforts here. You can, of course, leave out the Stevia.
Also wondering about the use of agave…
Is agave nectar an acceptable substitute for stevia syrup?
Is sweetener necesary in a savoury dish?
What is Stevia syrup and where would you get it in the UK?
Stevia is a natural sweetener, available in health-oriented stores and online. Stevia syrup is another term for liquid Stevia. You can use powder in place of liquid, keeping in mind that each 30 drops of the syrup is equal to a teaspoon of the powder.
Stevia can be found in the baking section near the sugar. The organic brand is Sweet Leaf.
I too would like to know what is Stevia and where would one find it?
Where do you find Stevia Syrup? I have looked in several stores and have been unsuccessful!
