🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and quality protein, which matter during breastfeeding and recovery; these nutrients may support a mother's overall nutrition. The colourful vegetables alongside add fibre and vitamins, while baking keeps the meal light by using less oil.
