Zesty Spring Salmon (Serves 2)

This Zesty Salmon Traybake is simplicity at its best. It takes just 10 minutes to prepare and about 20 minutes in the oven, which makes it perfect for a midweek supper.

It’s also a really nourishing choice for midlife women. Salmon provides high quality protein to support muscle maintenance and steady energy levels, along with omega-3 fats which help to support heart health, brain function and reduce inflammation. Pairing it with plenty of colourful vegetables adds fibre and plant variety which helps support digestion and balanced blood sugar.
