Roasted Salmon Detox Salad
This lemony salmon salad is packed with fresh flavors as well as protein and omega fatty acids that will leave you satisfied (and less prone to mindless snacking later). Fresh, crunchy asparagus, cucumber and beets paired with peppery watercress and refreshing citrus dressing make a nice break from the heavy foods you ate all holiday season long. It's quick to assemble and the dressing can be mixed in a mason jar for minimum cleanup. Try it for a hearty lunch or light supper.

Skinny Shrimp Scampi with Zucchini Noodles
Let's face it, a big bowl of pasta is one of the ultimate comfort dishes. This lighter take on the classic scampi dish loads up on protein-packed shrimp while still retaining the delicious lemon and garlic flavors of the original. This is a great option for those looking to cut carbs or gluten by substituting zucchini noodles for pasta, which have a similar mouthfeel that is truly satisfying — and healthier to boot. Plus, it'll give you a chance to use that veggie spiralizer that's been collecting dust.
