Delicious and light - baked salmon combined with blanched vibrant broccoli and fibre rich brown Basmati rice flavoured with sesame seeds and spring onions. This dish speaks for itself and is well worth including in a healthy diet each week.
Salmon, being a rich source of the omega-3s DHA and EPA, contributes to healthy brain function, heart and joint health, making it a valuable additive to any diet. Brown rice is an excellent carbohydrate source, filled with fibre and B vitamins, and is perfect for the slow release of energy. It is an excellent fuel source which will not create a blood sugar spike, as it provides a steady and long term energy boost. Being a whole grain, it also is a rich source of fibre, b vitamins, and has been shown to have heart healthy properties.
Sesame seeds are surprisingly a good source of iron, and a recent study even suggested they can help lower high blood pressure.
Spring onions are packed with Vitamin K, which is integral to healthy blood, with some studies suggesting that they can play a role in regulating blood pressure.
