One-Pan Lemon Dijon Salmon and Veggies

Looking for a time-saving, fast and delicious recipe to make? You’re in luck! This One Pan Lemon Dijon Salmon and Veggies is so simple and can be served in a number of different ways – to make your life easier and healthier. I’ve included a Vegetarian option too!

This recipe consists of three main ingredients: salmon, butternut squash and broccolini, and is seasoned with a delicious, homemade lemon dijon sauce. I’ve also provided a vegetarian option if you prefer to not eat fish.

You’ll get quality protein and healthy fat from the salmon, and lots of vitamins, micronutrients and healthy carbs from the vegetables.

I love including salmon in my diet regularly, as it’s a great source of potassium, protein, B vitamins and Omega-3 fatty acids (1). Unlike most other fats, omega-3 fats are considered “essential,” meaning your body can’t make them so you must get them from your diet.

They play a critical role in your body by reducing inflammation, lowering blood pressure and decreasing your risk factor for diseases such as cardiovascular disease (including heart attack and stroke), dementia and alzheimer’s (2,3,4,5,6).

Butternut squash is a complex carbohydrate high in fiber and loaded with vitamins A, C, E, and B vitamins, as well as minerals like potassium, zinc, and magnesium (7). Broccolini adds phytonutrients and fiber, rounding out the meal’s nutrients, giving you everything you need for sustained energy throughout the day.

Bottom line, this is a one pan meal that’s great for your taste buds and your health!
