“Need a pretty-looking appetiser? These little domes are simply made using seasoned cream cheese wrapped in smoked salmon. To achieve the cute dome shape, I used clingfilm-lined mini pudding (dariole) moulds. They were then simply tipped upside down before serving. Try these with slices of toasted Quick Chia Keto Bread (not included in macros) for a lovely, fresh appetiser for four people.” – Monya

First and foremost, smoked salmon is rich in healthy fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids. These essential fats support heart health, reduce inflammation, and aid in cognitive function. This aligns perfectly with the keto diet’s emphasis on fat consumption. Moreover, these fats help keep you satiated, reducing cravings for carb-heavy snacks.
Protein is another essential component of a keto diet, and smoked salmon delivers an excellent source of high-quality protein. Protein is vital for muscle maintenance and repair, making smoked salmon an excellent choice.
Furthermore, smoked salmon is loaded with essential nutrients such as B vitamins, selenium, and vitamin D. These nutrients are crucial for overall health and well-being, including maintaining strong bones, a healthy immune system, and energy production.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Salmon & Cream Cheese Domes
Per serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- 200 g (7.1 oz) smoked salmon
- 30 g (1.1 oz) smoked salmon, (additional), chopped small
- 130 g (4.6 oz) full-fat cream cheese (soft cheese)
- 1 tsp snipped chives
- 1/2 lemon, finely grated zest
- freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Cut out squares of cling film and line 4 mini pudding / dariole moulds.
- Using 50g (1.8oz) of salmon slices for each mould, line each one, allowing them to overlap slightly.
- Finely chop the (second reference to) smoked salmon and add to a bowl. Add the cream cheese, snipped chives and finely grated lemon zest. Season with freshly ground black pepper and combine well. This is what you should have ready:
- Divide the cream cheese mixture between the four moulds.
- Using the overlapped salmon slices, fold up and close the little parcels.
- (If you are making this ahead of time, simply close up by covering with the overlapping clingfilm and place in the fridge until needed.)
- To serve, tip the moulds upside down and remove the cling film.
- *Serve spread on keto crackers, toasted keto bread slices or simply serve with a rocket (arugula) salad (*not included in macros).
