Ingredients and their benefits

I love the powerful nutrient combination we’ve got in this recipe! Every ingredient works together to create a dish that nourishes your body with anti-inflammatory omegas, antioxidants, vitamin C, and more.

Salmon

Brimming with inflammation-fighting omega-3 fatty acids, salmon is one of the best fish you can eat. The wild-caught variety also provides lower mercury levels and higher heart-healthy fats than farm-raised.

Broccoli

One of my favorite superfood veggies. With ample vitamin C, K, fiber, and protective compounds like sulforaphane, broccoli boosts immunity and liver health. And the crowns caramelize beautifully right alongside the salmon.

Red Pepper

Vibrant red bell peppers add a pop of color, crunchy sweetness, and an extra blast of antioxidant vitamins A and C too. They taste amazing with salmon.

Courgette

Zucchini rounds out our veggie trio – its rich supply of manganese and vitamin C team up with the salmon to battle inflammation and free radicals.

Olive oil

Extra virgin olive oil provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats that taste delicious and aid the body’s absorption of the omega-3s and antioxidants from the salmon and vegetables.

Lemon

As a natural anti-inflammatory superstar, lemon contains antioxidant vitamin C and plant compounds that boost immunity and slow aging. The zing of acidity from the lemon juice and zest cuts through the richness of the salmon beautifully.

Bringing it all together is the bright flavor duo of olive oil and lemon. The good monounsaturated fats in olive oil aid nutrient absorption and lemon brings acidity to balance the richness of the salmon. This sheet pan dinner truly combines optimal nutrition and irresistible flavors in one easy recipe!
