Oily fish. We know it’s good for us but it’s not always that easy to get it into a family friendly meal plan. In my house the kids like fish but the husband isn’t as keen. He doesn’t like anything with bones, a head or a tail on. So I have to be a little creative.
This recipe has salmon for the omega 3 content. Research shows this aids cognitive function, reduces inflammation in the body and gives you clever kids! I’ve also put 2 portions of vegetables per person in here and if you serve it with a side salad that would be 3 portions.
It was quick to make, tasty and the sauce can be made ahead of time.
