Hey, everyone….

Be honest—how many times have you started meal prepping, only to give up by day three?

You start with the best intentions, fill your fridge with neatly packed containers, and tell yourself, this is it—I’m staying on track this time.

But….. after a couple of meals, you’re staring at the same dry chicken and bland veggies, thinking why eating healthy has to feel like a punishment.

Sound familiar?

Trust me, I’ve been there.

And as someone who’s tried every high-protein meal-prep hack, but realize that there had to be a better way. I needed meals that actually tasted good, kept me full, and fueled my body, without any guilt.

And then one night, out of pure frustration, I grabbed a sheet pan… and everything changed.

How This One Recipe Fixed My Meal Prep Struggles

Have you ever just thrown a bunch of ingredients on a pan and hoped for the best?

That’s exactly what I did.

I tossed together fresh salmon, crisp green beans, and baby potatoes, and drizzled them with a zesty lemon-garlic marinade (yum….)

And what next?

Popped them in the oven. No complicated steps. No weird ingredients. Just real, whole foods that naturally pack in protein and nutrients.

And in just 30 minutes, I had a meal that was:

✔️ High in protein (perfect for muscle recovery and fat loss)
✔️ Packed with omega-3s (great for energy and metabolism)
✔️ Balanced with carbs for sustained energy (no crashes here!)
✔️ Loaded with flavor (because let’s be real—bland food sucks)
✔️ Easy to meal prep (stays fresh and actually gets better the next day)

Sounds too good to be true, right?

But when I shared it with my gym buddies, even they couldn’t believe how simple—and delicious—it was.

Ingredients

High-Protein Sheet-Pan Salmon

  • 1 (24-ounce) package baby Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and halved or quartered (about 5 cups)
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • ¾ teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 small cloves garlic, finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
  • 4 (5-ounce) skinless salmon fillets
  • 1 (8-ounce) package trimmed haricots verts or thin green beans (about 4 cups)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Push the potatoes to one side of the pan, creating space for the salmon and green beans.
  2. Add Salmon and Green Beans: Arrange 4 salmon fillets and 4 cups of haricots verts (or thin green beans) in an even layer in the empty space on the pan.
  3. Apply the Lemon Mixture: Brush half of the lemon juice mixture (about 2 tablespoons) over the salmon. Drizzle the remaining mixture over the green beans to ensure even coating.
  4. Roast Everything: Place the pan in the oven and roast until the potatoes are fork-tender, the beans are tender-crisp, and the salmon flakes easily with a fork. This should take about 15 minutes.
  5. Garnish: If desired, garnish the dish with additional fresh dill for extra flavor and a pop of color.
  6. Make the Dressing: Meanwhile, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, the chopped garlic, 1 tablespoon of dill, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
