When you’re short on time and dinner ideas, this one pan teriyaki salmon with vegetables is fast, balanced, and delicious! You’ll get quality protein and healthy fat from the salmon, and lots of vitamins, micronutrients and healthy carbs from the vegetables.
This recipe consists of three main ingredients: salmon, carrots and green beans. All of which are roasted in a delicious, homemade gluten free teriyaki sauce. I’ve also provided a vegetarian option if you prefer to not eat fish.
I love including salmon in my diet regularly, as it’s one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat! It’s a great source of potassium, protein, B vitamins and Omega-3 fatty acids (1). Unlike most other fats, omega-3 fats are considered “essential,” meaning your body can’t make them so you must get them from your diet.
They play a critical role in your body by reducing inflammation, lowering blood pressure and decreasing your risk factor for diseases such as cardiovascular disease (including heart attack and stroke), dementia and alzheimer’s (2,3,4,5,6).
Bottom line, this is a one pan meal that’s great for your taste buds and your health!
