4.8 from 13 reviews

A nutritious and delicious Omega-Boosting Salmon & Sweet Potato recipe combining heart-healthy salmon, fiber-rich sweet potato, and other wholesome ingredients for a balanced meal or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 2 cups cooked salmon (fresh or canned in water, drained)

Vegetables

  • 1 medium sweet potato, cooked and mashed
  • 1/2 cup carrots, grated

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup cooked brown rice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the salmon: If using fresh salmon, cook it thoroughly by baking or pan-searing, then remove all bones carefully to ensure a smooth texture.
  2. Prepare the sweet potato: Steam or bake the sweet potato until tender, then mash it until smooth, creating a creamy base for the recipe.
  3. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the cooked salmon, mashed sweet potato, grated carrots, flaxseed meal, coconut oil, and cooked brown rice if using, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
  4. Serve or store: Serve the mixture immediately for best flavor and texture, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to enjoy later.

Notes

  • Using canned salmon is a quick and convenient alternative to fresh salmon.
  • Make sure to remove any bones from fresh salmon to avoid choking hazards.
  • Flaxseed meal adds extra omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
  • Including brown rice adds a good source of complex carbohydrates for additional energy.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
  • Can be served warm or cold as a nutrient-dense meal or snack.
