Satisfying Almond and Herb Crusted Salmon with Vegetables

Craving something fast, easy and healthy, but still want to eat something that satisfies, right?

Well, you can, with recipes like this one. It’s super easy, requires one pan, and tastes like a high quality restaurant meal. It’s also everything you need for a meal — high quality protein, healthy fat, and high fiber veggies — meaning it will fill you up so you’re not scavenging through the pantry for a late night snack.

You can serve this salmon dish with whatever veggies you want, so change it up — asparagus, sweet potatoes, zucchini work well here. It’s also easy to double the recipe for a dinner party or big family.
