01of 05Roasted Salmon CapreseThis recipe mashes up the ever-popularcaprese saladwith roasted salmon. Salmon is one ofthe healthiest types of fishyou can eat. Besides being a great source of protein, salmon is high inomega-3 fatty acids, which can help decrease inflammation. While topping salmon with mozzarella might sound a little different, the combination really works, especially when you get some of the roasted tomatoes and balsamic glaze in every bite. To round out the meal, I’ll serve it with a whole grain,such as barley, which I’ll prep ahead of time.Get the Recipe

Roasted Chickpea & Cauliflower Pitas with Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

a recipe photo of Roasted Chickpea & Cauliflower Pitas with Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

OK, so you will need a food processor here to make the sun-dried tomato sauce. But you can make the sauce and have the food processor bowl all cleaned up before thechickpeasand cauliflower are done roasting. After one bite of these spiced, roasted chickpea and cauliflower pitas, I’m sure you’ll agree the little bit of multitasking is worth it. What you can do to save yourself a step and a pan, though, is buy prepared pickled onions or just leave them out.

05of 05Sheet-Pan Sausage & PeppersOn Friday night, celebrate the end of the week with a colorful dinner. An assortment of red, orange and yellowbell pepperscontributes lots of vitamin C to this meal, while somesliced fenneladds both fiber and potassium. Since the chicken sausage is precooked, you’ll give the vegetables a head start in the oven and add the sausages and some crushed garlic once they’ve softened. I like to serve the sausage and vegetables in whole-grain hoagie or sub rolls and top them with plenty of shaved Parmesan and fresh basil.Get the Recipe
