Nutritional values

Salmon is rich in lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which help support cardiovascular health. This dish is also packed with niacin thanks to the beets, a B vitamin which helps support nervous system and digestive system health.

If you don't have a juicer or want to save time, just use store-bought beet juice.
