This is the most wonderfully simple dish. All you do is place all ingredients in a tray and bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Something that is fuss free and designed to be an easy dish for any night of the week. Rich with omega 3-boosting salmon, that offers brilliant anti-inflammatory properties and a dose of essential good fats. Sweet potato can boost immunity due to its beta-carotene content which converts to vitamin A in the body. Cooked in creamy antioxidant-rich coconut milk with immune-boosting shitake mushrooms and seasoned with curry spice to make this dish alive, topped with iron-rich spinach to add great diversity and extra fibre to help with digestion. A well balanced and filling dish that will take the fuss out of cooking.
