How to Make Salmon Meal Prep with Veggies
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). Combine 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic, and ginger. Toss in the cauliflower to cover it with the mixture and spread it on baking sheets.
Step 2. Combine 1 tbsp olive oil with cumin and paprika. Cut sweet potatoes into cubes, cover them in the mixture of oil, and spread them on baking sheets. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes and stir midway.
Step 3. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the frying pan, fry the salmon (skin up) for a minute, and add soy sauce.
Step 4. Cook the salmon for around 1-2 minutes and flip the salmon so it’s skin down. Then, cook for another 3-5 minutes until the salmon is fully cooked.
Step 5. Dice the beetroots and chop parsley. Divide salmon and vegetables between glass containers and top up with fresh parsley as well as lemon wedges.
What to Serve With High Protein Salmon
Cauliflower rice – it’s a low carb version of white rice that’s much more nutritious. It has loads of fiber and is packed with vitamins. You’ll need a food processor like this one and a steaming basket like this.
Zoodles (zucchini noodles) – All you need is a good quality spiralizer like this one here. Make sure you press the zoodles with a towel to get rid of excess water. We don’t want our meal prep to get all watery!
Feel free to have a little bit of sauce with these sides. Whether it’s your favorite low carb sweet chili sauce or BBQ sauce. You can get a selection of healthier sauces and dressings here.
