Ingredients

  • Protein:
    • 2 (4-5 oz) skin-on or skinless Salmon fillets
    • 41​ cup Plain Non-fat Greek Yogurt (for the sauce)
  • Carbs/Veggies:
    • 1 (10-12 oz) package of Gnocchi (Potato or, for lower-carb, Cauliflower Gnocchi)
    • 1 cup Broccoli florets
    • 21​ a Red Onion, cut into wedges or large chunks
  • Seasoning & Sauce:
    • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
    • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika (or use Garlic Powder and Italian Seasoning)
    • Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
    • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
    • 1 tsp fresh or dried Dill (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 400∘F (∼200∘C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Season the Vegetables and Gnocchi: In a large bowl, toss the gnocchi, broccoli, and red onion with the olive oil, 21​ tsp of the smoked paprika, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the mixture evenly on one side of the prepared sheet pan.
  3. Roast the Vegetables: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
  4. Prep the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry. Rub them with the remaining 21​ tsp of smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add Salmon & Finish Roasting: After the initial 15 minutes, remove the pan. Stir the gnocchi and vegetables, then nestle the salmon fillets among them. Return to the oven and roast for another 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
  6. Make the High-Protein Sauce: While the salmon finishes cooking, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and dill (if using) in a small bowl. Add a tiny splash of water if you prefer a thinner drizzle. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve: Divide the salmon and gnocchi hash onto plates. Drizzle the Greek yogurt sauce over the salmon and vegetables.
