15) Turn Canned Fish into Dinner
Canned fish, such as tuna, salmon, mackerel and sardines are an excellent source of protein for dinner and will cut down your prep time drastically. Stuff canned tuna into avocados with other fresh veggies for a no-cook healthy meal. Or mix flaked salmon with ingredients to make salmon cakes that cook up in a snap. Mackerel and sardines can be used to make quick tartines and would go great with fresh lemon juice, olive oil and marinated veggies.
