Healthy, because
Salmon provides lots of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, protein and iodine. The good fats have an anti-inflammatory and positive effect on the heart. The tomatoes and fennel provide the body with many minerals such as potassium. This mineral has a blood pressure-lowering effect.
Even smarter
Depending on the season, fish can also be served with zucchini with peppers or pointed cabbage with cauliflower. If you are not a big fish fan, the dish can also be enjoyed with fried halloumi cheese or chicken breast fillet instead of salmon.
