Cumin is a spice with a nutty and peppery taste, and the only ingredient you really need to turn another salmon dinner into more exotic cuisine instantly. Add a side of sweet potato (and, if you like, steamed spinach), and you get high protein, healthy fats, and clean carbs in a meal that’s ready in minutes.

Fit Fact: Cumin can raise your body temperature, kickstarting your metabolism and encouraging more fat loss.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz salmon
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
