Dinner Recipe for Busy Adults [50 gram Protein]

Here’s a healthy dinner option with over 50 grams of protein:

GRILLED SALMON WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES:

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces of grilled salmon fillet (about 40 grams of protein)
• 1 cup roasted sweet potatoes, cubed
• 1 cup roasted Brussels sprouts, halved
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
3. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
4. While the vegetables are roasting, season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper.
5. Grill the salmon over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
6. Once the vegetables are done roasting and the salmon is cooked through, remove them from the oven and grill, respectively.
7. Serve the grilled salmon alongside the roasted sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts.
8. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and vegetables just before serving for a burst of citrus flavor.

This dinner provides a hearty dose of protein from the grilled salmon, along with plenty of vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the roasted vegetables. It’s a delicious and nutritious option for a balanced meal without quinoa.
