1. Grilled Salmon
Salmon is one of the easiest fishes to grill due to its ability to withstand high heat from flames. Additionally, it’s an ideal choice for those wanting to avoid deep frying altogether.
Lemon zest pairs perfectly with many different flavors, from teriyaki sauce to barbecue sauce – or simply salt and pepper! In this recipe, lemon zest, dill and garlic are combined together and then given an extra bit of zest with pepper for an exciting dish that is sure to please!
For a lighter take on this recipe, replace the melted butter with 1/4 cup of soy sauce (try making your own homemade version to avoid added sodium) or swap in herbs like thyme or parsley in place of cilantro for an Italian flair.
This simple grilled salmon recipe is easy and makes a delicious meal on its own or served alongside some grilled vegetables or salad. Additionally, it makes an ideal complement for pasta dishes like Mushroom Pasta and Garlic Pasta and oven-roasted veggies like Roasted Broccoli and Zucchini.
2. Shrimp Stir Fry
An easy and delicious stir fry is an ideal weeknight staple, especially this delicious honey garlic shrimp dish featuring vegetables, protein and carbs – not to mention it is far more healthy than ordering takeout!
This meal features brown rice, an excellent whole grain source of fiber, B vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that promotes digestive health while helping regulate blood sugar. Plus, its potassium-rich composition may even help decrease your blood pressure!
Make cooking this nutritious meal even simpler by gathering all your ingredients beforehand. As this is a fast-moving recipe, have all your vegetables chopped, shrimp defrosted and peeled (if necessary), sauce prepared, and rice or noodles cooked (quinoa/cauliflower can work too) prepared before beginning this dish. Top your finished product off with sesame seeds and green onion for garnish; or enjoy as an appetizer within a cheesy pepper jelly wonton cup.
3. Eggplant with Tomatoes
Eggplant is an excellent source of the powerful antioxidant nasunin, known to reduce cell membrane damage caused by free radicals. This recipe offers an easy way to increase your daily consumption of this nutrient-rich veggie!
The eggplant and tomato bake is an ideal recipe to accommodate anyone on any dietary plan, such as Paleo or Whole30 diets. Vegan options can also be made possible by leaving out ricotta salata.
This dish is an easy and hearty side or main course option perfect for meal prepping, especially if using quality eggplant with glossy skin that does not contain soft spots.
Choose tomatoes that are both ripe and sweet to bring out the full flavors of this dish, along with other fresh vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms or spinach. Try switching out dill for another herb such as mint basil parsley or oregano; adding quinoa can even boost protein intake for longer satiation!
4. Vegetable Bowl
This vegan dish provides plenty of protein and plant-based fiber in one convenient meal. Quinoa provides protein, iron, calcium and vitamin B12. In addition, roasted sweet potatoes, crunchy cashew sauce, avocado slices and hemp hearts offer healthy fats to complete this hearty vegan feast.
Recipe is so straightforward you could do it all on your own; however, a visit to the farmers market might be worthwhile in order to source fresh ingredients sourced locally and organically grown produce.
Vegetable bowls make an easy weeknight dinner or light lunch option. To save time, prepare all the components (e.g. roast vegetables, cook rice and marinate proteins) ahead of time before assembling it at meal time – a great idea for families where everyone can select their own favorite components!
