Key nutrients per portion.
A good dish for fibre, protein, omega 3 fats, vitamin B12, vitamin D and Niacin (a B vitamin) low salt too!
This dish was inspired by the late night snack of salmon and french bread with a creamy sauce that my husband and I used to have after we had been out jiving pre kids!! This is a healthier version of that post dance feast but still with plenty of taste.
