Weight Watchers Asian Sheet Pan Salmon – 0 points and gluten-free

This post contains some affiliate links (See Disclosure Policy

In the early days I ate low-fat microwave popcorn for dinner pretty much every Thursday. Yep, not the healthiest, but I didn’t have much choice back then. It was the day before weigh day and I never had enough points left to eat dinner. Then Weight Watchers freestyle happened! Now I can eat THIS on Thursday nights, even if I’m completely out of points (which I always am) ! Because it’s ZERO, yes that’s right –  0 points!!!!

I created this This 5 ingredient Sheet Pan Salmon when I trying to come up with a quick, easy and zero point recipe for the day before weigh day. Now I no longer have to resort to microwave popcorn …

I’ve been following Weight Watchers for about the past 20 years and in the early days the only thing that was ‘free’ was that Weight Watchers zero point cabbage soup. And these days I honestly can’t even think about it without throwing up in my mouth a little. I guess I completely OD’d on the stuff. I’m really glad so much more is ‘free’ now, like eggs, fish and chicken!

This frozen salmon recipe is perfect for those nights when you need something substantial, healthy but have no points left! I serve it with some steamed veggies (asparagus is quick and tasty and can be steamed in the microwave for 3-5 minutes- Here’s how to steam asparagus in the microwave ). Then I squirt some lemon on the salmon and asparagus and it’s not only delicious, it’s healthy, easy and NO POINTS!

Healthy salmon recipe

Part of the reason that this healthy 5 ingredient salmon recipe tastes so magically delicious is because of the fresh ginger. But if you’re wondering about how to store fresh ginger then I’m here to tell you the secret – keep it in the freezer, then peel off the part you need with a vegetable peeler and grate it frozen right into or onto your food! It lasts forever, it’s super easy to use and it always tastes fresh!
