Salmon and broccoli pasta with watercress sauce
Salmon is one of my favourite fish which I try to eat once a week, not only are the benefits of salmon good for you, packed full of omega-3 fatty acids but I find the flavours great too…. so I thought that I would put together one of my favourite recipes to share with you. Most of the ingredients in this recipe contains some form of omega-3 fatty acids essential for brain power and development in infants and children.
Although in this recipe I steam the Salmon you can cook it however you like so if you prefer to have it grilled or poached then you can do it to suit you and your family, and for the smaller members you just need to mash or chop the meal into smaller pieces for the tiny mouths.
I hope you enjoy this recipe, and if there is something that you would like to see me cook then please leave your suggestions below.
