Eating low carb is a key diet rule for Michael Mosley, creator of the 5:2 diet.
And the diet guru took to Instagram to share his simple salmon recipe he claims is "low carb and low calorie".
He walked through his simple Thai salmon supper recipe he enjoyed whilst on a diet, The Express reported.
The 5:2 diet creator is a TV presenter, former doctor and the author of several diet books that hinge on intermittent fasting - that is, diets that include fasting and eating only at specific times.
Mosley showed his social media followers how to make the salmon recipe from his 'The Fast 800' book that uses red Thai curry paste and coconut milk that's served with cauliflower rice and greens.
In the video, Mosley shared that he was on day four of a keto diet.
Keto is a low carb, high fat diet that the presenter advocates for "rapid" weight loss.
He said: "Simmering away here, I have some salmon. What I have done is I've fried it up with some onions and a little bit of ginger.
"I put in two tablespoons of red Thai curry paste and some coconut milk."
In place of rice, Mosley served grated cauliflower "rice" with the salmon supper.
He said: "I've got some cauliflower rice, which is just some grated cauliflower.
"I'll microwave it in a minute, and I've got some greens here as well."
Michael claimed the meal takes only five minutes to make, saying: "I fried up the onion with the ginger. Then I added the coconut milk with the curry paste and the salmon.
"It takes about five minutes to cook. It's really low calorie, low carb and delicious."
In a separate video, the presenter shared his method of making cauliflower rice, which he says is "great for soaking up sauce".
Mosley broke down the veggie equivalent to white rice, comparing one cup of each.
While cauliflower rice has 20 calories per cup compared to the 210 calories of white rice.
It has 4g of carbs compared to 46g of carbs in the white rice, and 2g of fibre compared to 1g of fibre.
