Lemon Dill Salmon and Healthy Dessert Crepes [Dinner and Dessert #2]

Few protein sources are as healthy as salmon is, making it a must-add to your meal plan. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which will help to combat insulin resistance, lowering your risk factor for diabetes.

In addition to that, it’ll also help increase brain health, boost your heart health, and may also help you better maintain your body weight.

You’ll also be coating the fish with some olive oil, well-known to further help improve heart health and reduce harmful cholesterol levels in the body.

The lemon in the recipe is also excellent for detoxification purposes and will help cleanse the body while keeping your pH level where it needs to be for optimal health.

This recipe adds the delicious flavor of dill to salmon in a fast and easy dish that you can make on any busy weeknight evening. Feel free to add any other vegetables in with the fish as desired.

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and cover the salmon in the oil.
2. Next, sprinkle with spices on both sides and then place the lemon and onion slices on top.
3. Cut out a large piece of parchment paper and wrap fish together, leaving just a small opening for the steam to escape.
4. Place on a baking pan and cook for 20-25 minutes or until fish flakes easily.
5. Serve alongside a bed of wild rice and some steamed vegetables of choice.

Crepes, which are traditionally high in fat and calories can be a perfect dessert option when a few adjustments are made to create a healthier dish that will satisfy your taste buds and your nutritional requirements.

This crepe recipe is loaded with protein, contains some healthy fat, and will also offer you a good dose of nutrients thanks to the fruit that it contains.

Whip this up for a quick dessert any time or as a mid-day snack that you can feel good about eating.

Note that there are many flavor variations you can use with this recipe. Try adding some strawberries or raspberries with almond butter or some freshly baked apples with cinnamon and a little stevia along with sprinkled walnuts on top for some healthy fats.

You can also easily replace the banana protein powder for chocolate or vanilla as well depending on your own flavour preferences.

1. Whisk together the protein powder with egg whites until thin liquid is formed.
2. Pour into a hot non-stick skillet on medium heat, cooking for 1-2 minutes, flipping at half-time. A thin, crepe like pancake should form.
3. Remove from heat and serve with some natural peanut butter (melted in the microwave slightly beforehand if desired) along with a sliced banana.
