Delicious grilled salmon that you can prepare indoors or outdoors, served with quick marinated greens. This satisfying, flavor-packed meal is easy to make and perfect for anyone looking for a healthy dinner option. Below I also share how I maintain good nutrition during pregnancy.
I love cooking because it lets me create nourishing meals that actually taste great. This grilled salmon is a favorite — simple to season, quick to cook, and utterly irresistible. The first bite had me nodding with approval and reaching for another piece.
During pregnancy, I focus on getting key nutrients every day. I take prenatal vitamins daily and prefer Nature Made® Prenatal Multi + DHA (200 mg) 150-count softgels from Sam’s Club. Each softgel includes essential vitamins and minerals useful before and during pregnancy, such as folic acid, calcium, iron, magnesium, iodine, vitamin B12, and vitamin D3.†
These softgels also provide 200 mg DHA, which may support fetal brain and eye development.† In the past I used over-the-counter prenatals that contained only folic acid and required a separate iron supplement. I appreciate that Nature Made® combines all those nutrients in one easy-to-swallow softgel. Nature Made® is also the #1 pharmacist-recommended vitamin and supplement brand.*
Besides taking my vitamins daily, I cook balanced meals. This grilled salmon with veggies is healthy without tasting bland — it’s full of flavor and satisfying. To prepare the salmon, I rubbed the fillets with olive oil and seasoned them simply with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried basil. The seasoning is minimal but yields great flavor.
I cooked the salmon in a hot grill pan, searing each side until cooked through. The result is a tender, flaky fillet with a nicely seasoned crust.
For the side, I tossed mixed baby lettuces with a light dressing made from extra virgin olive oil, honey, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and a touch of black pepper. The dressing is sweet and tangy, pairing perfectly with the salmon.
I served the salmon and greens over couscous with a spoonful of tomato sauce on top for a complete, filling meal. It was flavorful and satisfying — and I like to think my baby approved.
I purchased the prenatal vitamins and the ingredients for this recipe at my local Sam’s Club. Sam’s Club is convenient for stocking up on household and pantry essentials, which makes meal planning easier during pregnancy.
It’s a good idea to start taking a prenatal supplement about six months before trying to conceive, and a 150-count bottle covers several months since the recommended dose is one softgel per day.
