Dijon and dill are a classic pairing, and they anchor this keto-friendly dish beautifully. When choosing keto-friendly recipes, you want to look for ingredients that add flavor with virtually zero carbs. This dish succeeds on both counts and the results are amazing.

If you don’t have fresh dill on hand, you can substitute 1-2 tablespoons of dried dill, but fresh dill adds a brightness to the dish that just can’t be beaten.

For best results, choose a dijon that is yellow rather than brown, if available. The end product looks nicer when it’s golden.
