Miso Salmon Lunch Box with Sesame Snap Pea Salad

Super Simple Salmon + Crisp, Refreshing Snap Pea Salad

Hey gang!

This is the second installment in my lunch box series, Roasted Miso Salmon with Sesame Snap Pea Salad.

It’s a perfect example of what I designed this series for; a high protein, veggie packed dish you can feel good about eating. It’s super simple to cook but is still exciting to eat and is makes for an absolute flavor bomb of an office lunch.

Salmon is a pretty calorie dense fish (475 cal per 8oz) so if you’re on a more restrictive calorie diet I’d recommend swapping in cod (180 cal per 8 oz).

Macros and a lower-calorie version can be found at the bottom of this post.

I hope you enjoy!
