3. Garnish with sliced almonds for added crunch and serve.
Salmon is an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids, supporting heart health. Broccoli is high in fiber and vitamins C and K. Cauliflower is a low-carb alternative to traditional mash, high in vitamins C, K, and B6.

– 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
– 2 cups broccoli florets
– 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Season salmon with rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
2. Place salmon on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
3. Steam broccoli until tender-crisp.
4. Boil cauliflower until soft. Drain and mash with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
5. Serve salmon with a side of steamed broccoli and cauliflower mash.
Chia seeds are a fantastic source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein. Mixed berries provide antioxidants, and coconut milk adds a healthy, dairy-free creaminess.
Ingredients:
– 1/4 cup chia seeds
– 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
– A few mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, mix chia seeds with coconut milk and vanilla extract. Let sit for 15 minutes or until it reaches a pudding-like consistency.
2. Layer the chia pudding in glasses, alternating with mixed berries.
3. Refrigerate for at least an hour. Garnish with mint leaves before serving.
I especially love toasted coconut on mine!
