Nutritional values

The salmon scores points for its abundance of omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats keep our heart healthy by protecting the blood vessels and positively influencing the cholesterol level. In addition, the ability to concentrate is improved as the fatty acids improve the transmission of stimuli in the brain. The fish also provides us with vitamin D, which among other things ensures strong bones.

For the fish dish you can also use frozen salmon. Defrost it and then cut it into cubes. Instead of the soy cream you can also use another vegetable alternative such as cashew, spelt or oat cream. If you are a fan of the classic cream sauce, use cooking cream or whipped cream with vegetable stock.
