Just because you are trying to lose pregnancy weight it doesn’t mean that you can’t eat your favourite foods like burgers.
Healthy versions of your favourite foods can be included in your weight loss plans, as long as you are focused on making them from scratch including your own healthy ingredients, instead of opting for the calorie-laden, high-fat takeaway option.
This recipe for a healthy Grilled Salmon and Salad Burger is a super tasty, yet healthy burger option that the whole family will love.
Salmon is a healthy, high protein ingredient that is high in Omega 3 fatty acids which aid in the prevention of many chronic diseases, including heart disease.
Ingredients:
- 2 small-sized, fresh salmon fillets
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Half teaspoon of paprika
- Half teaspoon cumin
- 2 wholemeal or sourdough bread rolls, cut in half
- 2 tablespoons reduced fat Greek yoghurt
- 2 handfuls salad mix
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Cracked Pepper
- Half a red capsicum, sliced into strips
Optional Extras:
- Substitute the Greek yoghurt for ricotta cheese
- Add some grated carrot or sliced cucumber to the roll
- Use lime juice instead of lemon juice
Method:
- Marinate the salmon fillets in the lemon juice (in a plastic bag or a bowl) for 10 minutes.
- Remove the salmon fillets from the lemon juice and sprinkle both sides with the paprika, cumin and cracked pepper.
- Pour the olive oil on a large piece of foil, then place the salmon fillets on the foil and cook under a medium heated grill for 5-7 minutes, each side.
- While the salmon is cooking under the grill, spread a tablespoon of Greek yoghurt on each of the bottom portion of the split rolls, then place the salad on top.
- Top the salad with some sliced red capsicum, then lay the cooked salmon fillet on top.
- Top with the top half of the roll and serve immediately.
