Nutritional values

The spring-like light combination of yoghurt, various herbs and salmon filet brings an extra portion of protein to the plate; lemon provides even more freshness and a few extra vitamins.

Serve the salmon fillet with plain boiled potatoes - and the fibre balance is already in the green zone!
