CRUSTED SALMON
Rich in omega 3 fatty acids, great to support skin, heart and brain health, lower inflammation, salmon is one of the most loved fish in UK, along with cod. All fish can be included in the diet (unless you exclude animal products due to ethical and/or environmental reasons), but oily fish like salmon, sardines, anchovies, mackerel and herrings are particularly important, due to their high omega 3 content.
I love this recipe because is quick and delicious, easy to prepare and can be customised with alternative vegetables (see the notes section at the bottom).
