Well, I’ve made it my mission to change a few things to make my life easier which also includes dinnertime! Instead of spending several hours in the kitchen, and dirtying up tons of dishes, I’ve been relying on one-pan meals! A few of my favorite one-pan meals are HERE, HERE, and HERE!

One-pan meals are my favorite because they are easy and allow me to spend less time in the kitchen and more time with my family. Since we are true salmon lovers, I decided to make this delicious Creamy One-Pot Garlicky Salmon & Asparagus!

Here’s why we are salmon lovers!

• Great Source of Omega 3s- Salmon is a great source of omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, and has been linked to several health benefits, such as decreasing inflammation and helping to lower blood pressure.
• Great Source of Protein- Salmon is a great source of protein! A 3 oz serving of salmon contains approximately 20-25 grams of protein. Protein is essential for helping our bodies heal after injuries and it protects our bones and muscle mass.
• Great Source of Potassium- Salmon is also a great source of potassium! Most people often view bananas as the best source of potassium but surprisingly, one 3 oz serving provides about 18% of the recommended daily intake for most adults.

This dish may look a little fancy, but all you need is one pot and 30 minutes, and you’ll have an amazing meal that the entire family will enjoy! When making this recipe, I recommend using a Dutch oven such as this ONE, or a large skillet such as this ONE.
