If grocery shopping or cooking feels like an impossible task, it’s time to brush off that can of shelf-stable salmon sitting in the back of your pantry. This protein-packed, naturally gluten-free dish uses ingredients you’ll likely have in your home and requires no oven or stove.

Salmon contains omega-3 fats, which are important in reducing inflammation and for proper brain and heart function.1 Feel free to try this recipe out with other FODMAP-friendly proteins like canned tuna or sardines. Top off this meal with a tasty peanut butter pumpkin oatmeal cookie!
