salmon with spinach and mustard seeds, served with roasted portobello caps and cauliflower and potato purée

Here's a delicious healthy meal ready in less than 30 minutes if you bake the salmon and the portobello caps at the same time! Proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, protective phytochemicals, and satisfying fibers are all combined in this appetizing plate.

The salmon is topped with a mixture of spinach and mustard seeds, while the portobello caps are topped with a little tasting parmesan. As you know, mashed potatoes are surely defined as a comforting side dish, but rarely as a very healthy choice... But, I've managed to make them healthier by mixing equal amount of cauliflower and unpeeled potatoes to boost their antioxidant and fiber content!

Give it a try and you won't regret it! Mmmmm!
