Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Prep all low-glycemic ingredients: measure out the wild Alaskan smoked salmon, English cucumber, and whipped Greek cream cheese using US or metric units.
2
If cooking on the stove or oven, preheat to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat your pan with 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil.
3
Combine wild Alaskan smoked salmon with whipped Greek cream cheese and fresh dill, cooking for 5 minutes until tender and aromatic (165°F / 74°C internal for poultry).
4
Fold in English cucumber and capers during the final 1 minutes to preserve nutrients, healthy fats, and crunch.
5
Plate immediately in balanced macros (half plate non-starchy greens, quarter lean protein, quarter slow-digesting fiber).
