This is a mouth-watering recipe with a great balance of fish, carrots, beans and potatoes. Salmon is a great source of so many nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin D, Potassium, Selenium, Phosphorous, Iodine. It is recommended to aim for about 2 serves of fish a week, preferable oily fish, such as salmon.
There are many advantages in eating fish. Did you know that eating fish more than once a week is associated with a reduced risk of developing dementia in older adults? Eating fish at least twice a week supports a decreased risk of stroke, cardiovascular disease, and age-related eye macular degeneration.
Fish is full of important nutrients to support brain development in children and the iron and zinc found in fish support their immune system. Eating fish frequently may reduce the risk of asthma in children. Omega-3 fatty acids support brain tissue health, important for all, in particular growing children.
