What’s The Best Protein for Weight Gain AND Loss? | Ways To Elevate Your Meals | Salmon Recipes 2025
Whether you’re looking to gain weight or lose weight, salmon is the absolute perfect choice for all of your health goals.
In today’s video, I show you how I prepare a 2 pound salmon with simple ingredients like Montreal steak seasoning, and a garlic, buttery blend, from @McCormickVideos GrillMates, and a lovely artichoke and lemon and pesto from better goods and in-house @Walmart brand
Using my @cuisinart toaster oven which I absolutely love this meal was very simple to make at 375° on bake at 15 minutes switched to air fryer for 10 minutes and it comes out with a beautiful crisp on top. It’s so delicious. I highly recommend it.
Salmon is a great source for omega-3’s and fatty acid is great for both weight. Loss and weight gain is easily accessible comes in a variety of different oceans. There’s a CoHo, Atlantic, Alaskan, Pink and it also helps to retain water weight.

So good, even if you're someone that doesn't like artichokes you're like uh, I promise you this is so fire
You'll see i'm able to manage to take the skin
off of the salmon perfectly like this
That's pretty awesome. Just tell me already
Atlantic salmon is the preferred choice when it comes to the salmon that we use because pink salmon it just has a different taste
It's really not that great. The coho is a little more red
It does have a slightly different taste, but this one honestly is just more flavorful
I went ahead and cut off a slab of a whole 2.25 pounds. So this is just a little piece of it right here
Um, don't mind this I made a video i'll go ahead and link it reviewing some chicken wings
I'm, just gonna continue to use this repurpose. We're not gonna do all that. I did. However, I was able to manage to take the skin
off of the salmon
Perfectly like this. Do you see that? That's pretty awesome
I don't really like the skin, but my husband does so I am gonna leave it here on the side
And you know just see what happens with it, but he likes it for roughage
So that's to help the food go down stuff like that
Now today i'm gonna go ahead and just get the season up make a couple sides with it
Nothing to crave the main thing that I like about salmon is that it has omega fatty acids
It's a great protein. You can eat a lot of it if you're looking to gain weight or even lose weight
It's really great seafood itself, but salmon i'm a lot atlantic salmon specifically. I'm really liking I highly recommend
So let's go ahead and get the season up. My foil is already
Oiled up and I used this from winco. It's a non-stick butter flavored cooking spray
So that's what I have on the bottom
So honestly when it comes to salmon you really don't have to do too much
That's what I really like about it
I like that you put minimal seasoning seasoning on it and it really is just the fish itself that tastes really good
So i'm going to be using a couple things just this from great value
It's a light tasting olive oil and i'm also going to be using from grill mates. This is the montreal steak seasoning
It's so so good on anything but especially on fish a dash of this
grill mates
Seasoning this is a garlic butter seasoning. This is really good as well
I love grill mates and then i'm going to be topping it with this better goods
Authentic italian artichoke and lemon pesto made with artichokes italian cheese and lemon zest. It's so good
Even if you're someone that doesn't like artichokes, you're like, uh, I promise you this is so fire
You'll see in a minute. Let's go ahead and get the season up. I'm considering putting this on it with this is spicy chili
Crisp, I really want to I just this has been my thing lately, but you know what?
I might just make some noodles with this and just you know
Show you guys how I doctor up the noodles with this two ingredient noodles. I'll tell you right now
I'm not gonna give away my secret in this video
Okay, but I have the secret recipe to ramen noodles and if you want it, make sure you like this video
Okay, also before we get started well as I season i'll let you know i'm using the quiz in the art oven toaster
Air fryer toaster situation and if you don't know this thing is so fire. It has a couple different settings on it. Hold on
So it has a couple different settings on it as you see
I'm putting on my olive oil. Hold on. I think you might actually want to see this. Let me show you
Um, so olive oil. This is a little bit of that
butter garlic
This is the montreal steak and with the montreal steak I am going to be pretty generous with it
I like it a lot like a lot a lot making sure I super coat this thing
And yes, this does have salt in it
This is not a no salt seasoning if you do want to see a video of some
No salt seasonings that I recommend, of course, this is dash
But if you want to see let me know and I got you on that
Um, I am going to put this pesto on there. I'm going to use a fork to do it
Nothing too crazy so I can smear it around
This is what it looks like in the inside
It's really good
And it does have like a slight lemony smell to it. It's nothing too crazy
So i'm gonna get like a scoop like this put it on and i'm gonna spread it nice and evenly
Making sure that I don't really mess up the seasoning that's underneath it
but kind of just layer it not all over like a crust, but
Just a coating a light coating. So good. So like I was saying as i'm doing this
I'll let you know about what i'm using. It's the quiznar, um toaster oven has the temperature and the timer
The functions it has warm
Bro with a fan on it toast bake air fry all different types of things on here if you can see that
And then also like a little toast timer and stuff like that
That's how you make the toast. I burnt my toast the other day and I was kind of wondering why but yeah
So but yes, I really do like it
It makes things so nice and crispy if you want like a barbecue type of flavor and filled seafood
Like I don't know. I just make so many things in this all the time
My husband and I we both cook and if you want to see more cooking videos do subscribe because we definitely got you guys
But as you see i'm letting that, you know, I just you see I did that
That look fire that thing look good already and it smells so good and delicious. I smell so good right now
So yeah when it comes to this little piece back here, i'm just gonna leave it
But i'm gonna go ahead and put this in here and something else that you can do to this
You could add some veggies and stuff if you want to but I don't think i'm gonna do that right now
Go ahead and put this in this air fryer oven situation on air fry. Well, let's put it on bake i'm gonna put it on bake
At 375 and i'm gonna do for about 17 minutes and that should be perfect
I'll let you know what that looks like and I'll have some sides and stuff too
So this is what we're working with at the final end. Doesn't that look beautiful? Oh, it looks so delicious
I know it is. No, I I really don't want to cut it. I really don't i'ma do it for you though
And that allows me to take a bite. Look at this
So nice so golden crispy delicious beautiful, oh, it's so good taste it
Taste that skin piece
That skin piece it wasn't got nice and crunchy on us
I'm gonna go ahead and pair it with these noodles that I have
