An omega-3-rich salmon dinner with roasted sweet potato and greens — about 40g protein and packed with micronutrients.

Ingredients

  • 6 oz (170g) salmon fillet
  • 1 medium sweet potato, cubed
  • 2 cups spinach or asparagus
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon
  • Salt, pepper and garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the cubed sweet potato with half the olive oil and seasoning, spread on a tray, and roast for 15 minutes.
  3. Add the salmon (skin-side down) and greens to the tray, drizzle with the remaining oil and a squeeze of lemon.
  4. Roast for another 10–12 minutes until the salmon flakes easily.
  5. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and serve.

Tips

Salmon is done when it reaches 145°F (63°C) and flakes with a fork. Pat it dry before roasting for a better texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is salmon good for building muscle?

Yes — it provides high-quality protein plus omega-3 fatty acids, which support recovery and overall health. It is an excellent dinner protein.

Can I meal prep baked salmon?

Salmon is best fresh but keeps for 2–3 days refrigerated. Reheat gently to avoid drying it out, or eat it cold over salad.
