This vibrant, nutrient-packed dish is designed to support glowing skin and a healthy gut, thanks to its powerful combination of omega-3-rich salmon and antioxidant-loaded greens.

HEALTH BENEFITS
Wild-caught salmon is an excellent source of essential fatty acids, which help maintain skin hydration, reduce inflammation, and support a healthy gut lining. The creamy macadamia pesto is loaded with vitamin E and monounsaturated fats— key nutrients for skin elasticity and cell repair. Paired with fibre-rich asparagus for prebiotic support, this dish is a delicious way to nourish your body inside and out.
