Poached Salmon with Herbs and Potato Salad

A delicious meal with omega-3s AND low glycaemic index? Talk about health benefits. In fact, we will. Let’s talk about the mighty omegas! 💪

Omega-3 fatty acids help to reduce health risks such as heart diseases, cancer, osteoporosis, and rheumatoid arthritis… and they can even help females with menstrual pain and other symptoms. 

Plus, they help your brain stay healthy. Less depression or anxiety? Maybe we should call omega-3s “happy juice”.

But how do you get more? There are healthy ways to up your good fat intake. Some take supplements like fish oil. Others add chia and other seeds and nuts to their daily diet. You can also find omega fatty acids in flax and olive oils. 

Fish are one of the tastiest ways to enjoy getting these powerful nutrients and adds proteins to your meal. In fact, Salmon has more than 3x the amount of any other fish! I created this recipe to help you enjoy one of my favorite ways to prepare and enjoy salmon.

Add the yellow flesh potato salad for a yummy, low GI way to get in your greens at the same time. Because it’s all about balance, my friend.

Enjoy!
