How can something that looks this simple and takes just 10 minutes to make be so ridiculously delicious?
Tonight’s budget-friendly, high-protein dinner:
🐟 Salmon glazed with ginger and teriyaki
🥒 Roasted zucchini
For the salmon:
• Thawed frozen salmon
• 4 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• About 1/3 package teriyaki sauce (only ~5g carbs/sugar)
• Salt to taste
For the zucchini:
• 2 zucchini, sliced
• Olive oil, salt, and pepper
Heat the coconut oil and stir in the ginger until fully blended. Sear the salmon over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Add the teriyaki sauce, stirring it into the ginger-infused oil to create a quick glaze.
At the same time, toss the zucchini with olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast in the air fryer for 10 minutes.
That’s it. Dinner for two in about 10 minutes.
One of the biggest myths in nutrition is that eating healthy has to be expensive. With a little planning, you can build meals around quality protein, healthy fats, and fibre without breaking the bank.
If you’re active or working out, add ½ cup of roasted sweet potato. The sweetness pairs perfectly with the ginger-coconut flavours.
Simple. Affordable. Nutritious. Delicious.
