If you are looking for a meal that is packed full of nutrients, then these Salmon and Pumpkin Patties are just for you. They are extremely nourishing, low in refined carbohydrates, high in protein and are delicious too! One of the primary ingredients in these patties is Salmon. Eating salmon will increase your intake of omega 3 essential fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids are responsible for:

• Boosting heart health
• Reducing cholesterol
• Improve blood vessel elasticity
• Lowering blood pressure
• Reducing risk of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimers disease, dementia and Parkinson’s disease
• Improving brain function
• Improving the health of hair skin and nails

In addition, this recipe features Pumpkin, giving the patties a beautiful golden-orange colour. Pumpkin is abundant in an antioxidant called beta-carotene, that has been shown to:

• Protect against oxidative stress
• Reduce risk of cancer
• Improve respiratory and cardiovascular systems
• Improve eyesight

Salmon and Pumpkin Patties are free of gluten and dairy – making them perfect for those who are sensitive to these ingredients, or simply if you are looking for a healthy alternative.

Serve as a small entree or as a main accompanied with a salad or vegetables. You can also keep them handy in the fridge for a quick snack on the go. By Tiaan Alisha – Naturopath @TIAAN_ALISIA_NATUROPATHY
