“Great job! Your lunch and dinner choices are spot on with the nutritional guidelines. The ground turkey mixed with corn and black bean salad is a great source of lean protein and fiber. And the salmon with brown rice and asparagus is a fantastic combination of lean protein fiber-rich foods and healthy fats. I hope you continue to enjoy these nutritious meals and the positive impact they have on your health. Keep finding creative ways to incorporate these healthy foods into your meals!”
Instructions
1.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2.
In a large bowl, combine the diced red bell pepper, corn, black beans, spinach, and avocado. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
3.
Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4.
Arrange the asparagus around the salmon on the baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5.
While the salmon and asparagus are baking, heat the cooked brown rice in a small pot or microwave.
6.
To serve, place a portion of brown rice on each plate, top with the salmon and asparagus, and add the vegetable salad on the side. Serve with lemon wedges.
