If you are looking for a lower-carb meal, then look no further! This sheet pan dinner has everything you need for a delicious dinner (and leftovers!). The Mediterranean flare in this recipe comes from the Kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, capers which bake so nicely with the salmon.
The salmon is topped with chopped pistachios which really elevates the dish. Using pistachios, a complete protein, you also add healthy fats and fiber which helps to make each bite even more satisfying.
Plus, about 90% of the fats found in pistachios are unsaturated, for a trio of nutrients that may help keep you fuller longer. There is nothing easier than this delicious dinner that you can prepare with simple ingredients that you can find ready to go at the grocery store.
