Why Add MCT Oil & Healthy Fats to Your Keto Salmon Packet?

How to Maximize Your Foil Packet Experience:

• USE 100% PURE ORGANIC COCONUT MCT OIL: Instead of cooking your fish in olive oil or coconut oil, try Organic MCT Oil! MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides, an essential fatty acid that can increase metabolism, boost endurance and mood, lower cholesterol, and lower blood sugar levels. It’s a tasteless, odorless oil, making it great for cooking!
• GRILL IT OR BAKE IT: If you don’t have access to a grill, this recipe can be cooked in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400. Follow the same directions when preparing the aluminum foil packet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until salmon is opaque throughout.
• CHOOSE YOUR FISH: Though we recommend using salmon (can you say nutritional powerhouse?!), you can swap out the salmon for halibut or cod if you prefer.
• ADJUST YOUR SERVINGS: As is, this recipe makes four portions. However, if you're making dinner for just one or two, simply scale the ingredients for the appropriate portion size.
