Low-carb and keto flan made with ricotta, salmon, and zucchini: a versatile, light, and easy recipe. Perfect as an appetizer, main dish, or light lunch; it can be cooked in the air fryer or in the oven.
Prepare the zucchini: boil them in salted water for 5-6 minutes, drain and squeeze them well, or sauté them in a pan with a drizzle of oil for 8-10 minutes until soft but still firm.
Cook or chop the salmon: if fresh/raw in the center, cook it quickly in a pan with a drizzle of oil, let it cool, and flake it with a fork; if smoked or already cooked, use it directly.
In a bowl, combine ricotta, cooked zucchini, salmon, egg, grated cheese, pepper, and a drizzle of oil; mix well.
Lightly grease the 12 cm mold or line it with baking paper; pour in the mixture and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
Cooking: in a preheated air fryer at 200°C, cook for 20 minutes. Alternatively, bake in a preheated static oven at 200°C until golden. Let cool slightly before unmolding.
