This Maple-Teriyaki Salmon and Rice Meal Prep is a must try recipe! I have made salmon for meal prep a lot, but this is now my absolute favorite recipe! It has so much flavor packed into every single bite. It is paired well with rice and green beans, to make it the perfect healthy meal!
We absolutely love salmon patties when it comes to meal prep. We get ours from Costco, the Trident Seafoods Wild Caught Alaska Salmon Burgers. They cook up in less than 10 minutes and we break them apart into individually sized bites for the meal.
Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, it is a great source of protein, high in B vitamins and a great source of potassium. Studies have shown that it may lead to reduced risk of heart disease and it may benefit weight management.
I always feel like my meal is on track when eating salmon. It is such a tasty fish, and I love that it is so good for you. There is a total of 20 grams of protein in one single salmon patty. I usually make my husband a full patty and I do half patties for my meals. Which is still amazing to get 10 grams of protein from just the salmon. Wait until you try this marinade sauce recipe down below, it will make you never want to have boring, plain salmon again.
We love to get the full-size box of Minute Rice from Costco. It’s my favorite way to cook rice. They make it so easy to get the perfect texture of cooked rice and make it easy to do so. I am all about simplifying my meals, and this rice makes it a walk in the park. I love sharing these meal prep containers because they are my favorite! Be sure to click the link below to find them!
You can always use fresh green beans and either steam, boil, or oven 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. Steam able 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. I hope you enjoy this meal prep as much as I do! I would love to hear from you when you try it!
