‘Sinfield’s supper’ with oven-roast salmon

(See end for vegan option) This dish is an Elevated take on a dish we’ve provided in the past to sports stars as part of a nutritional regime to aid their strength and conditioning programme. 

You can use the ‘Sinfield’s supper’ element to accompany any lightly grilled protein, so while we use salmon here, do use it with other accompaniments too. 

The main element of the ‘supper’ is broccoli, rich in vitamin C and an excellent source of vitamins K, as well as folate, vitamin B6 and E and fibre. As a member of the cabbage family, it also contains compounds known as glucosinolates, which have been shown to help excrete the form of oestrogen which is linked to breast cancer. We marry that with avocado which offers health-promoting monounsaturated fats, as well as vitamin E, B vitamins and fibre. 

For those who are vegan and want to eat this on its own without the salmon, the addition of cannellini beans (high in protein and fibre) and nuts makes for a complete set of amino acids (the building blocks of protein) and adding Nutritional Yeast instead of the cheese retains the umami flavour and adds in extra vitamin B12.  We serve is as mentioned with a simple salmon fillet to add more good fats and protein but you could substitute this for a roast, spiced tofu, if you wish.
