High Protein Creamy Salmon & Feta Gnocchi Recipe

* 130 g salmon fillet
* 130 g cooked gnocchi
* 150 g cherry tomatoes, halved
* 80 g zucchini, diced
* 40 g red onion, finely diced
* 50 g fresh spinach
* 40 g reduced-fat feta cheese
* 80 g 0% Greek yogurt
* 5 g garlic, minced
* 3 g olive oil
* 2 g smoked paprika
* 1 g dried oregano
* salt and black pepper
* a squeeze of lemon juice

Place the salmon in the center of a glass baking dish, then add the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, red onion, spinach and garlic around it. Add the feta and season with smoked paprika, oregano, salt and black pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil.

Bake at 200°C / 400°F for around 18–22 minutes, until the salmon is fully cooked, the vegetables are tender, the spinach has wilted and the feta has started to brown.

Remove from the oven and add the Greek yogurt. Gently break the salmon into large pieces and mix it with the vegetables and juices to create a creamy sauce. Add the cooked gnocchi and mix everything together. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Protein is important for maintaining muscle and supporting muscle recovery, so getting enough protein throughout the day matters. Fat loss is based on maintaining a calorie deficit.

If you're in a calorie deficit, you can reduce the amount of gnocchi or feta, or use less olive oil. For a calorie surplus, increase the amount of gnocchi, feta or olive oil.

Exact calories and macros can vary depending on the salmon, gnocchi and feta brands, as well as the exact ratios of the ingredients.
