I’m so glad you’re looking to nourish your mind and body! For anxiety, foods rich in magnesium, omega-3s, and antioxidants can be calming and supportive of brain health. Here's a simple, delicious recipe I love—a Salmon and Spinach Bowl. It’s packed with mood-boosting nutrients.
Ingredients:
1. Wild-caught salmon fillet
2. Fresh spinach
3. Cooked quinoa or brown rice
4. Avocado slices
5. A handful of walnuts or pumpkin seeds
6. Lemon juice
7. Olive oil
8. Garlic (optional)
9. Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Season the salmon with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake or pan-sear until cooked through.
2. Sauté fresh spinach in a little olive oil and garlic until wilted.
3. Assemble a bowl with a base of quinoa or brown rice, add the spinach, salmon on top, and garnish with avocado slices and nuts or seeds.
4. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the bowl for a refreshing touch.
This bowl is soothing, satisfying, and offers magnesium, omega-3s, and fiber, all wonderful for calming anxiety. Do you enjoy cooking with salmon or prefer a plant-based option? I’d love to help tailor it!
