Meal Prep Baked Salmon Portions

Baking multiple salmon fillets at once is one of the most efficient things you can do in a weekly meal prep session. Cooked salmon keeps for 3 days in the fridge and works cold in salads, flaked into pasta, or reheated quickly. Four fillets in the oven costs less than 20 minutes of attention.

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (approx. 130g each)
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp fresh or dried dill
• 1 tsp olive oil
• Salt and black pepper

Method

1. Preheat oven to 190°C.
2. Line a large baking tray with parchment.
3. Mix together the lemon juice, garlic, dill, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
4. Place the salmon fillets on the tray. Spoon the marinade over each fillet.
5. Bake for 15–18 minutes until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
6. Allow to cool completely at room temperature.
7. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Nutrition Notes

Each 130g salmon fillet provides 28g of protein and a full day's worth of omega-3 fatty acids. Prepped in bulk, it becomes a default high-quality protein source that requires zero daily cooking effort.
