If you’re on a low carb diet and looking for delicious meals that can be made in minutes, then you’ve come to the right place. Cutting out carbs can have many health benefits, but it doesn’t have to mean bland food.

Here are 2 tasty low-carb dinner ideas.

Salmon Tray Bake

Preheat oven to 230C. Mix lime juice, soy sauce and sugar together until the sugar dissolves. Coat 2 salmon fillets in the mixture and leave to soak skin side up for 10 minutes. Then put the fillets into a greased roasting tin skin side down with broccoli, green beans and peppers. Pour over soy sauce and cover loosely with tin foil. Roast for 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, make a dressing with garlic, ginger, spring onions, chili, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, and sugar in a small jug. Spoon the dressing onto the roasted vegetables and salmon and serve.

Tofu Tikka Skewers

Mix non-dairy yogurt, garam masala and tomato puree in a bowl. Add tofu and mix together. Thread skewers with marinated tofu, red and green peppers, red onion and garlic. Brush the skewers with olive oil and grill on a high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side. When the skewers are nicely charred and cooked through, serve with a yogurt dip, salad and lemon wedges.

Tofu Tikka Skewers 🍢 • • Tofu chunks marinated in a soya yoghurt spice mixture and then assembled onto a skewer and baked for 20 mins. Delicious 😍 these were so fun to make and enjoyed by all – non vegans included! 🥳 I served with some asparagus, cherry tomatoes, avocado and a spiced rice – for the rice I mixed in some diced red onion, bell pepper, turmeric and smoked paprika. It was so yum! 😍 • • Ingredients: 1. Block of firm tofu 2. 200g plain soya yoghurt 3. 1 tsp cumin 4. 1 tsp ground coriander 5. 1 tsp smoked paprika 6. 1 tsp turmeric 7. 1 tsp tamari 8. 0.5 tsp garlic powder 9. 0.5 tsp cayenne 10. Diced scallions & fresh coriander 11. Salt & pepper • • Method: 1. First you need to press as much liquid as possible out of the tofu using kitchen roll. Chop the tofu into small cubes. 2. Add the yoghurt and spices into a big bowl and mix until everything is combined. 3. Add the tofu chunks into the spices yoghurt mixture, using your hands, coat the tofu pieces in the sauce. 4. Add in the fresh coriander and scallions, give it another mix. Cover with clingfilm and leave to sit in the marinade for 2 hours. 5. Once the 2 hours are up, preheat the oven to 200 celsius. 6. Place the tofu, some red pepper chunks and red onion chunks onto the skewers. This should make 5 skewers. 7. Place on a baking tray and add any leftover marinade. Bake for 20 minutes. 8. Serve with my spiced rice and some salad, enjoy 😍❤️ • • #tofu #tofutikka #tikkaskewers #plantbased #veganrecipes #plantbasedlifestyle #tofutikkaskewers #tofurecipes #tofutikkamasala #vegantikkamasala #veganrecipes #healthyeating #veganprotein #plantprotein #highproteinvegan #indianvegan #indianfood #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #fitfood #foodiesofinstagram #veganlunch #mealprep #veganmealprep
