Fish and seafood are among the best-tolerated proteins on GLP-1 treatment. Light, omega-3 rich, and high in quality protein, they’re your best allies.
1. Lemon-dill grilled salmon
Place 150 g salmon fillet on parchment paper. Drizzle with lemon juice, fresh dill, and olive oil. Bake 15 min at 200°C. Protein: 34 g.
2. Cod ceviche
Dice 200 g fresh cod. Marinate 30 min in lime juice with red onion, cilantro, and chili. Protein: 28 g.
Lime “cooks” the fish without heat — perfect when cooking smells trigger GLP-1 nausea.

Open 500 g mussels with shallot, parsley, and 100 ml white wine. Serve with whole grain bread. Protein: 24 g.
4. Steamed cod with sauce vierge
Steam 150 g cod for 10 min. Make sauce with diced tomatoes, olives, basil, capers, and olive oil. Protein: 30 g.
5. Garlic-parsley sauteed shrimp
Saute 200 g peeled shrimp in olive oil with 2 garlic cloves and fresh parsley. 3 minutes is enough. Protein: 28 g.

Fish: your GLP-1 ally
Aim for 2-3 fish servings per week, including at least 1 oily fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines) for omega-3s. Prefer gentle cooking: steam, oven, parchment. Avoid frying.
