Hello! Welcome to dontmissmyplate.

Thank you for visiting the website! I'm Maxine, blogger, home cook, soon to be food entrepreneur, and lover of all things food and fusion cuisine (a style of cooking that combines ingredients and methods from different countries, regions, or cultures). My approach is primarily rooted in both a Zimbabwean and American perspective based on my life experiences, making it quite varied. I hope you find the website helpful and come back! There is something for everyone, and recipes are designed to inspire you to try something new.

Salmon, Butternut and Broccoli Sheet Pan with Smoked Paprika Aioli

Salmon, Butternut and Broccoli Sheet Pan with Smoked Paprika Aioli

You want a simple, tasty dinner free of grease, calories, and unhealthy food additives most of the time. Whole foods that still have flavour. Something quick and easy.

I'm a massive fan of using sheet pans to achieve this and have made something similar before. Here's a recipe that checks those boxes.

I highlight below why these ingredients are at the top of the clean eats list; research to get more details about the benefits!

Salmon is an excellent source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids and B-12 vitamins, to name a few of the benefits. It's versatile in preparation methods and helps keep you full and from overeating. I try to eat salmon 1-2 times a week to enhance my diet.

Broccoli has a terrible reputation, but in my opinion, roasting the vegetable brings out the best in its taste compared to boiled and steamed (despite the pros of those methods). These florets pack as much of a vitamin c punch as oranges, in addition to plenty of other nutrients. Whatever the case, eating broccoli certainly adds to your superfood collection.

Butternut is an excellent candidate, particularly in the winter months, and adds a subtly sweet, nutty flavour. Rich in potassium, the orange colour like carrots also boasts carotene or vitamin A, which is great for your immunity, skin, hair and eyes.
