This tasty, tangy recipe is a fresh take on salmon, which is always a winner when it comes to flavour and nutrient density.
Salmon provides half the energy along with heaps of protein, omega 3, vitamins B3, B5, B12 and D, along with choline and selenium.
Avocado adds luxurious monounsaturated fat, folate, copper and potassium, while the grapefruit adds a kick with vitamins A and C. For extra minerals and crunch, feel free to add your favourite greens.
