How to Make Lemon Caper Salmon
Team, today I’m bringing you a very simple weekday lunch or dinner that is super nourishing and packed with protein and micronutrients! It’s my one-pan lemon caper salmon – let’s get into it!
What are the health benefits of salmon?
Capers and salmon are an epic combination for so many reasons. One is the omega-3 fatty acid benefits of the salmon, which are great for brain and skin health. Capers are full of vitamins A and E, which play a role in immunity and reducing oxidative stress to help prevent chronic disease.
We’re also boosting the fibrous carbs in this one to keep you full by serving it alongside brown rice with mixed greens for added vitamins and minerals. Let’s make it team! As always, show me your plate by tagging me @dan_churchill on IG.
