I love chicken salads. Here is a delicious one I eat for lunch that is surprisingly low in calories, but high in flavor, protein and satisfaction
What you'll need:
Rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked chicken
Arugula
Green onion
Slivered Almonds
Semi-soft goat cheese
Fat-Free balsamic dressing
Place 1 cup or more of arugula into your bowl
Chop and toss in 2 green onions
Add 3 ounces of shredded chicken
1 ounce goat cheese
2 Tbsp of slivered almonds
Finish with 2 Tbsp of fat-free balsamic
Enjoy! You will not feel deprived and the creaminess of the goat cheese makes the balsamic divine. It's truly a salad I can eat all year long - and it's great for protein!

Best Baked Salmon
This is a way to bake salmon my mother taught me. It's the easiest and most delicious!
What you need:
Glass baking dish - big enough to fit the fillet
Fillet of Salmon
Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Pepper
Put 2 Tbsp of Olive Oil into the dish
Turn oven onto 400 degrees and place dish immediately into the oven, while cold
Let oven preheat with the dish of oil
While the dish is preheating, salt and pepper your salmon to taste. You can also add other spices, but I'm a salmon purest, so I usually only put sea salt on it
Once the preheat alarm goes off, carefully take out the dish with the hot oil
Place the seasoned salmon into the dish, skin side down
Cook the salmon for 7-15 minutes, depending on it's thickness. You will want to check on it and see if it's fully cooked until it's the desired level of pink you like to eat
Remove and enjoy! Make sure to take the salmon immediately out of the dish once you've determined it's cooked enough to prevent it from over cooking while it sits. Guaranteed delicious moist fish every time.
