Instructions

Start by tossing the salmon bites with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the salmon bites to the skillet and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Remove the salmon and set aside.
Melt the butter in the same skillet and sauté the minced garlic for around 30 seconds.
Add the cream and lemon juice, simmering gently until the sauce thickens.
Return the seared salmon to the pan, coating with the sauce.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve over cauliflower rice or greens.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the salmon in olive oil, lemon juice, and spices for 20 minutes before cooking. Customize the dish with red pepper flakes for a little heat.
