6 High-Protein Foods for Weight Loss & Muscle Building

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2

   Pat salmon fillets dry. Rub with 1/2 tbsp olive oil, dill, salt, and pepper. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
3. 3

   While salmon bakes, rinse lentils thoroughly. In a small saucepan, combine lentils and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until tender. Drain any excess liquid.
4. 4

   In a small bowl, prepare the lemon-garlic Greek yogurt sauce: combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mix well.
5. 5

   In a separate large bowl, combine cooked lentils, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Toss gently.
6. 6

   To assemble the bowls, divide the mixed greens between two serving bowls. Top with the lentil mixture. Flake the cooked salmon over the lentils. Drizzle generously with the lemon-garlic Greek yogurt sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein foods feast!
