Why this recipe works

Composition

The salmon brings EPA and DHA; the roasted vegetables provide vitamin K, vitamin C, and beta-carotene, all fat-soluble compounds whose absorption is helped by the olive oil.

What this recipe may support

Body functions

  • Heart

    Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids from salmon contribute to the maintenance of normal cardiac function.

  • Bones

Modifications

Make it vegan
