The one-pan protein dinner I make every week (healthy and anti-inflammatory)

Dec 18, 2025

Description

This is the one-pan protein dinner I cook every week. It’s healthy, high in protein and packed with anti-inflammatory spices. It might look like a lot of ingredients, but once you start, you’ll see how simple it is with very little hands-on time. It gives you around 40g of protein, lots of fibre and those anti-inflammatory ingredients that really make you feel good, and it’s flexible enough to swap in whatever protein or veg you’ve got at home.

Swaps you can make:
• Instead of fish: try salmon, chicken, prawns, tofu, tempeh or even a tin of beans
• Veg: swap kale for spinach, cavolo nero, broccoli, courgette, frozen peas or whatever greens you have
• Curry paste: if you don’t want to make your own, just use a good quality shop-bought paste
