Hey friends! 🌞 Today, I’m excited to share one of my go-to healthy recipes that’s super simple yet absolutely delicious—a grilled salmon with lemon-caper butter sauce! 🍋🐟
This dish is perfect for those evenings when you want something light but still full of flavor. I love how the tangy lemon and briny capers in the butter sauce complement the rich, flaky salmon. It’s a match made in heaven!
To keep things on the healthy side, I like to pair this with a fresh quinoa salad. I mix in some cherry tomatoes, cucumber, a bit of red onion, and toss it all in a light lemon vinaigrette. It’s the perfect side that adds a nice crunch and keeps the meal balanced.
Here’s how I do it:
Grill the Salmon: Season your salmon fillets with a bit of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Grill them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they’re cooked through and have those beautiful grill marks.
Make the Sauce: In a small pan, melt a tablespoon of butter, then add fresh lemon juice and a spoonful of capers. Let it simmer for a minute, and it’s ready to drizzle over your salmon.
Quinoa Salad: While the salmon is grilling, cook your quinoa and let it cool slightly. Mix in your chopped veggies and vinaigrette, and you’re done!
And that’s it—healthy, tasty, and ready in no time. Give it a try, and let me know how you like it! 🍴💚
