Healthy Takeout Recipes
15-Minute Miso Soup
Miso soup is a go-to comfort food, especially when it’s chilly outside or you’re craving something soothing. However, traditional takeout versions are often packed with high levels of sodium and added MSG. My homemade miso soup recipe is a healthier twist on this classic. It’s quick, easy, and made with all-natural ingredients. In just 15 minutes, you can enjoy a warm, flavorful bowl of soup that’s light yet satisfying.
Why it’s healthier: By preparing miso soup at home, you can control the amount of sodium. You can also opt for a high-quality miso paste that’s free from artificial additives. The addition of nutrient-dense ingredients like seaweed and tofu boosts the nutritional value, giving you a hearty, protein-packed meal that’s ready in no time.
Health benefits: Miso is a fermented food, which is excellent for gut health, helping to balance the bacteria in your digestive system. Tofu adds a plant-based protein source, making this soup a great option for vegetarians. Additionally, the seaweed provides iodine, an essential mineral that supports thyroid health.

Homemade Salmon Sushi
Sushi might feel like a special treat reserved for a night out, but making it at home is surprisingly easy! Homemade salmon sushi offers the same fresh, vibrant flavours as your favourite takeout rolls, but with added health benefits. Packed with protein, healthy fats, and fresh veggies, this sushi recipe allows you to indulge without feeling guilty.
Why it’s healthier: I use fresh, sustainably sourced salmon that’s baked, not fried. Unlike many takeout sushi rolls that are drenched in sugary sauces, I opt for gluten-free tamari to keep things light and clean. This recipe lets you control what goes into your rolls, making it a far healthier choice than delivery.
Health benefits: Salmon is a superfood, rich in omega-3 fatty acids that support brain function and heart health. The creamy avocado in this recipe adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which help to lower bad cholesterol while boosting good cholesterol, supporting cardiovascular health.

Fish Tacos with Pineapple Salsa
Fish tacos are often a go-to at Mexican restaurants, but they’re usually battered and fried, served with calorie-laden sauces. My healthier version features crispy fish coated in almond flour, pan-fried in coconut oil, and topped with tangy pineapple salsa for a refreshing twist. These fish tacos are not only healthier but also simple to make and are always a hit during my virtual corporate cooking classes.
Why it’s healthier: Instead of deep-frying the fish in unhealthy oils, I coat it in almond flour and fry it in nutrient-dense coconut oil. The homemade pineapple salsa is a much lighter and healthier alternative to traditional creamy, mayo-based taco sauces.
Health benefits: Fish is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are essential for brain and eye development, as well as reducing cognitive decline in older adults. Pineapple is packed with bromelain, a digestive enzyme that can help break down proteins and aid in digestion, promoting a healthy gut.
