All it takes is just 5 ingredients to make a delicious, nutritious and satisfying meal. 

DMP have created hundreds of 5 ingredient meals for our members. These exclude a few staples such as oil, salt, pepper, vinegar and lemon. 

In this meal a simple combo of spinach, cheese and canned salmon is also super easy to make in one pan.

Purchase the canned salmon with bones for extra calcium. If you don’t like salmon or don’t have it on hand, switch it for canned tuna instead. 

We used frozen spinach for convenience and to make this a super quick meal to make, you could also use fresh spinach finely chopped, or shredded baby spinach. If no spinach is on hand, use grated zucchini, finely chopped broccoli or cauliflower, or shredded cabbage. 

In place of yogurt you can use cream, sour cream or cottage cheese.
