Overview

Why it works

A weeknight dinner that doubles as joint and recovery support. Simple seared salmon over fresh greens - clean protein and micronutrients without the fuss.

  • Wild salmon delivers ~2.5 g of EPA + DHA per serving - proven to reduce training-induced inflammation.
  • Asparagus is rich in folate and prebiotic fiber to support gut and recovery health.
  • Slow-burning sweet potato carbs refuel without spiking insulin.

Pro Tips

Coach-level details

  • Buy salmon with consistent thickness so it cooks evenly. Tail pieces overcook fast.
  • Skin on means crispier crust and a fat barrier that keeps the flesh moist.
  • Let salmon rest 2 minutes after cooking so juices redistribute.

Storage & Swaps

Keep it, swap it, save it

Storage

  • Refrigerate up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently in a covered pan with a splash of water.
  • Label containers with the prep date.

Smart swaps

  • Swap maple for honey or date syrup.
  • Swap salmon for arctic char or steelhead trout.
  • Add 1/2 cup edamame for extra plant protein.
