When it comes to healthy low-carb recipes, seafood really is king. All fish and shellfish are high in protein, virtually carb-free, and either low-fat or filled with healthy omega 3 fatty acids. This is why I love seafood so much (plus it tastes amazing!) and why I have collected 10 of my favorite healthy low-carb seafood recipes for you today.
These recipes look very beautiful and elaborate but most of them are actually quite easy to make, so they are great for impressing your family and friends (or just for a delicious weeknight dinner).
As always when you cook with seafood, make sure to buy high-quality fresh ingredients, especially for the Ahi Tuna Poke where you eat the fish raw. It’s ok to buy the shrimp frozen, but the rest of the recipes should be made with fresh fish.
Enjoy, and let me know in the comments which healthy low-carb seafood recipe was your favorite!
Trout with Lime & Dill Crust
From Imagelicious
Trout is always delicious and adding the tang of limes and the spiciness and freshness of dill kick the flavors up a notch. You can easily make this recipe with salmon if you can’t get trout.
Ahi Tuna Poke
From Diabetes Strong
Poke is a classic Hawaiian way of preparing raw fish with soy, sesame oil, and spices. It’s basically Hawaiian sushi. It’s one of the easiest fish dishes to make as you don’t have to cook anything. You just mix all the ingredients and eat :). It takes less than 10 minutes to prepare enough poke for four people.
Spinach Feta Salmon Burger
From Caroline’s Cooking
This is a tasty and healthy alternative to a traditional burger that’s also really quick to make. Juicy, flavorful, and very, very good.
Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Creamy Chili Sauce
From Diabetes Strong
Grilled shrimp are always delicious, especially when you dip them in a creamy chili sauce. This is the perfect healthy low-carb seafood recipe for summertime grilling.
Jalapeno Shrimp Veggie Bake
From Cottercrunch
This spicy jalapeño shrimp veggie bake is low-carb, grain free, and ready in under an hour! It’s a great mix of seasonal vegetables, lean protein, herbs, and spices cooked together.
Tuna Salad Nicoise
From Diabetes Strong
This is my take on the classic Tuna Nicoise Salad with a slightly spicy parsley and mustard dressing. It has been one of my lunch favorites for a while now because it’s really easy to make in advance and bring with me wherever I go.

From The Rising Spoon
This is, in my opinion, one of the absolute best recipes with canned tuna. These heavenly pan-fried morsels are absolutely delicious and super easy to make!
