Low-Calorie Roasted Salmon Glazed With Brown Sugar & Mustard


The other day in the New York Times I read an interesting Sam Sifton recipe for salmon. It didn’t give measurements, just guidelines, and it sounded like a really good, easy dinner. Especially since I adore salmon. And easy dinners.

Health benefits of salmon

Salmon is a nutritional powerhouse, packed with high-quality protein that helps me feel full and satisfied for longer periods, curbing cravings that can derail my diet. What makes it even more appealing is its abundance of omega-3 fatty acids which support heart health. It’s a secret weapon in my quest to lose weight.

Salmon truly is a superfood that adds both flavor and health benefits to my daily routine, making it a staple in my diet.

Such a simple salmon recipe

You just mix brown sugar with a good Dijon mustard and spread it over the salmon. Roast it in the oven, and it comes out glorious! I serve it over brown rice and it’s amazing. And at only 257 calories, you’ll have plenty of room in your calorie budget for rice and other sides plus a low-calorie dessert.
