We all know fish is good for you, but sometimes we may not always be able to work it into our weekly meal prep. Dr. Liz suggests aiming for 1-2 servings (3-4 ounces each) of salmon, sardines and other fatty fish weekly. How do you do it? By finding easy, tasty and approachable recipes that can be made any night of the week.

Why add fish to the menu? According to Dr. Liz, a 4-ounce fillet of salmon provides 40% of protein needs, as well as ample B vitamins including B6 which works to support muscle function. Along with certain other types of seafood, salmon is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help lower circulating levels of dangerous fats and fight inflammation. Beyond that, fish is just plain tasty, especially when prepared with the right recipes.
