Lemon Pepper Salmon Meal Prep: This recipe is simple to make and filled with high quality nutrients. These meal preps are delicious and keep you fuller longer! If you’ve tried our Maple-Teriyaki Salmon, you’ll love this recipe!
Salmon Patties are one of my favorite go-to’s for meal prep. The one’s we get are from Costco, Trident Seafoods Wild Caught Alaska Salmon Burgers. They cook up in less than 10 minutes and then we break them apart into individually sized bites for the meal.
Salmon is known for being rich in omega-3 fatty acids, it is a great source of protein. It is high in B vitamins and is also a great source of potassium. Studies have shown that it may lead to reduced risk of heart disease, and it may benefit weight management.
There is a total of 20 grams of protein in one single salmon patty. I usually make my husband a full patty per meal, and I do half patties for my meal prep’s.
We like the full-size box of Minute Rice from Costco, because we use a lot of rice for our meals. It’s also my favorite way to cook rice, because I can pop it in the microwave and have fresh rice ready to go quick. They make it so easy to get the perfect texture of cooked rice. I am all about simplifying my meals, and this rice makes it a walk in the park.
You can use fresh green beans and either steam, boil, or bake them in the oven. But to make my life, and hopefully your life easier, grab a bag of green beans from Birdseye Steam Fresh in the freezer section of your grocery store. Steamable veggies are the perfect complement to your meal. This is my favorite brand because they always come out of the microwave and taste as fresh as if I steamed them on my own on the stove top.
