Lemon Dill Salmon Puree
Need something savory in the puree phase, try our Salmon Puree
Unless you are a pescatarian, it may be safe to say that most of us are not meeting our recommended fish intake each week. It is too easy to get stuck in a routine of eating chicken, turkey, and beef. However, keeping a variety in our diet not only makes the meals on our plates interesting, but it also exposes us to a vast range of vitamins to benefit from!
Nutritionists and doctors alike agree that a well-rounded diet includes fish consumption at least twice a week. A great option for these meals? Salmon. The superfood of the sea, salmon is chock full of health benefits, ranging from Omega 3s to its anti-inflammatory properties. We all could use more of this first-class fish in our diet! So, what better way to acclimate to a newly fish-filled diet than by enjoying it early in your post-op healing process? This recipe is delicious, light, and only 83 calories! For the 8g of protein it packs, we think that is a caloric bargain for the taste and nutrition profile it carries!
