Nutritional values

Artichokes owe their unmistakable, tangy aroma to the bitter substance cynarin. Cynarin helps to lower cholesterol levels, supports the liver in its detoxification work, and activates the flow of bile, while other artichoke elements are beneficial for the eyes. Salmon has protein and many beneficial fatty acids within it, making this a well rounded meal. 

You can always substitute fettuccine with other pastas like brown rice pasta, chickpea pasta, or wholewheat pasta.
