Nutritional values

In addition to iodine - for a well-functioning thyroid gland - the salmon provides plenty of omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain development and protect against cardiovascular disease.

The dish also tastes great with chicken breast fillets - and you can replace the mustard with tomato paste for a milder taste.
