The many benefits of salmon

 

1. High Quality Protein

It is super high in quality protein with over  20g of protein per 100g which is essential for muscle growth and repair during weight loss.

2. Rich in Omega 3 oils

Salmon is rich in essential omega 3 fatty acids which are important for lowering cholesterol, reducing inflammation and more specifically for you helping to metabolise old fats within the body.

 

3. Rich in B Vitamins

Something you may not have known about salmon is that it’s actually very high in many B Vitamins which are responsible for several roles within the body such as metabolising food into energy, creating and repairing DNA and reducing inflammation.

As you can see there are many benefits to eating salmon especially when you are trying to lose weight. We wanted to find seven quick, easy and simple low carb salmon recipes to aid in your weight loss and here they are.

If you’ve tried and liked the parmesan chicken you’ll enjoy these. Parmesan makes everything taste better. It goes well with the asparagus all baked in one pan. Its dead easy to prepare and cook. 10 minutes to prep and cook in just 20 minutes. Great weeknight dinner.

The recipe uses three large fillets of salmon at about 200g each which is a lot. Typically 130-150g would be enough. If you follow the recipe provided stretch the serving size from 3 to 4 or 5. You may need to add more veg.

4. Mexican Grilled Salon Salad with Avocado Greek Yogurt ranch Dressing

Salmon salads are great for fat loss. So light and fresh they motivate you to be good and stay on track. There’s something about them that makes you feel great. This salmon salad is so simple its great with Mexican inspired flavours.  It uses an Avocado dressing which you can get the recipe for that here. Personally I’d skip this unless you really want to try it. There should be enough flavour from the salmon on its own unless you over cook it of course.

5. Sheet Pan Chili Lime Salmon
