Hints and Tips
- Our combi steam ovens have a great feature called “Menu cooking” under Special applications. Choose the ingredients from the options and the oven will prompt when the foods should be added.
- Salmon is a great source of protein and is also rich in omega 3 fatty acids.
- Can be made ahead of time and packed into containers for lunches.
- As an alternative, substitute salmon for tofu or a can of tuna.
- If you’ve had a big training session, bump up the carbohydrates by adding in an extra potato or having a piece of wholegrain bread on the side.
- Ask your fishmonger for a sustainably caught or raised salmon fillet.
