DESCRIPTION:

The trick with healthy food is to make it interesting and exciting. It’s all in the flavours and seasoning, and this plate is no exception. Salmon is a tasty fish all by itself, but add in the homemade Teriyaki sauce and spices in the Rice Noodles and you create a mouth watering dish. Works well as a lunch or dinner, and combines a healthy source of protein, fats and carbs.

If you’re working to a tight daily calorie budget or simply don’t have my kinda appetite, use only one pack of Rice Noodles and one fillet of Salmon. This will drop 371 calories from above.
