Salmon, Butternut and Broccoli Sheet Pan with Smoked Paprika Aioli

You want a simple, tasty dinner free of grease, calories, and unhealthy food additives most of the time. Whole foods that still have flavour. Something quick and easy.

I'm a massive fan of using sheet pans to achieve this and have made something similar before. Here's a recipe that checks those boxes.

I highlight below why these ingredients are at the top of the clean eats list; research to get more details about the benefits!

Salmon is an excellent source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids and B-12 vitamins, to name a few of the benefits. It's versatile in preparation methods and helps keep you full and from overeating. I try to eat salmon 1-2 times a week to enhance my diet.

Broccoli has a terrible reputation, but in my opinion, roasting the vegetable brings out the best in its taste compared to boiled and steamed (despite the pros of those methods). These florets pack as much of a vitamin c punch as oranges, in addition to plenty of other nutrients. Whatever the case, eating broccoli certainly adds to your superfood collection.

Butternut is an excellent candidate, particularly in the winter months, and adds a subtly sweet, nutty flavour. Rich in potassium, the orange colour like carrots also boasts carotene or vitamin A, which is great for your immunity, skin, hair and eyes.

Salmon and Asparagus Omelette

A light breakfast can be an easy decision but sometimes tricky especially when you are seeking a healthy option. Applying the keto diet rules can help narrow down your options, and the omelette is a great vehicle for this. You can stuff or top it with vegetables, healthy fats like avocado, and protein like fish and poultry. This omelette is decked out with herbs and a dollop of coconut cream with a side of avocado, totally guilt-free and should give you a great energy boost. You can also make it if you feel hungry later on in the day.

Recipe: Beat 2 eggs with a tablespoon of coconut cream or sour cream, season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs in a non-stick pan until most of the egg liquid is firm, topping with bits of cheese and 1/8 cup asparagus tips, then add 1/8 cup shredded salmon on one side (the side you are going to fold over). Fold and cook for another 1-2 minutes, top with fresh thyme and cilantro.
