Nutrition Tips

  • This recipe uses smoked salmon - but any type of smoked fish can be used. Go for the oily fish for extra flavour and for a good dose of omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Salmon is high in the healthy omega-3 fatty acids. A 50g portion of smoked salmon provides 650mg of omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Eating oily fish regularly can boost our intake of omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for our health and may help reduce risk of heart disease.
