These Paleo-friendly meal plans are for six dinner recipes and a dessert thrown in for fun! All of these recipes are paleo friendly, seasonal, and most can be easily adapted to be Keto/Low-Carb or Whole30 friendly.
Hi, friends!
This week we’re keeping things and easy & springy with some colorful, crisp salads and one-pan meals.
I included my new Sweet Chipotle Salmon with Hot Honey Glaze recipe, too. That honey glaze has become one of my favorite condiments. Let me know what you think!
We also included a tasty, flourless brownie recipe with a secret ingredient.

Special Diet Note: Recipe is Paleo. It can be made whole30 by omitting the honey from the dressing
Prep Ahead: Make the salad dressing up to 1 week in advance!
Substitutions: Use your favorite store-bought sesame ginger salad dressing to omit some of the prep, and/or use leftover or rotisserie chicken instead of preparing chicken.
Monday
SWEET CHIPOTLE SALMON WITH HOT HONEY GLAZE — This simple salmon has a triple punch of sweet, smoky, & spicy! The honey glaze is a MUST and is super easy to make.
Special Diet Note: Recipe is paleo as is.
Prep Ahead: You can make the honey glaze up to a week in advance.
Substitutions: To make this Whole30 friendly, omit the glaze and the coconut sugar from the salmon rub. Also, use 1/2 tsp dried chipotle powder in place of the diced chipotles in adobo sauce.
