HOW IS THIS BAKED SALMON TRAY WITH RICE & TOMATOES HEALTHY?

The baked salmon tray with rice and tomatoes is an excellent source of protein and healthy fats. Salmon especially contains omega-3 essential fatty acids which have an anti-inflammatory effect. The ease of cooking the salmon all in one tray with the rice and tomatoes makes this dish a simple yet delicious family favourite that doesn’t take a lot of time to make. In addition using the rice in this dish gives the meal balance with its complex carbohydrates and the final flourish of yoghurt and a sprinkle of herbs brings it to life once out of the oven.
