We believe in eating for your skin so you can help it on the inside and out. Here is a full day of eating good fats and nutrient dense food that is amazing for your skin and body!

Dinner

Baked Salmon and Papaya Salad

Ingredients:

1 fillet of salmon

1 lemon

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 cup grated green papaya

¼ cup chopped cherry tomatos

5 leaves mint chopped

5 leaves coriander chopped

1 red chilli

Salt and pepper

 

Directions:

1. Place fillet of salmon onto a sheet of alfoil skin down.
2. Mix ½ of the chopped red chili with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and pour over the salmon fillet.
3. Thinly slice half of the lemon and place slices across the top of the salmon fillet slightly overlapping.
4. Gently wrap the fillet with alfoil and ensure all edges are closed so the salmon can steam making sure the foil does not touch the side and top of the fillet.
5. Place onto a baking tray and into the oven for 15-20 minutes on 160 degrees Celsius.
6. Whilst the salmon is baking, place the remaining soy sauce, chopped chili and squeeze half the lemon into a small bowl and mix.
7. Place papaya, mint, coriander and cherry tomatoes into a bowel and toss together.
8. Mix in soy, lemon and chili dressing to taste making sure not to add to much (there may be left over dressing).
9. Remove salmon from oven and transfer to a plate, add salad and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Enjoy!
