Salmon power bowl
A Salmon Power Bowl is a healthy and nutritious dish that combines the protein-rich salmon with a variety of nutrient-dense ingredients such as vegetables, grains, and healthy fats. It is a balanced meal that can be customised to your preferences.
Salmon is low in mercury and high in omega-3 fatty acids, and is safe to eat if pregnant.
Brussels sprouts are very high in vitamin B9, also known as folic acid, and are recommended during pregnancy to meet the increased requirement for this vitamin. Vitamin B9 is vital for a baby's healthy development, particularly for brain development during the first trimester of pregnancy.
