Ingredient Benefits

🐟 Salmon

Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, salmon supports brain and heart health while reducing inflammation. It’s also an excellent source of high-quality protein, B vitamins, and selenium, promoting glowing skin and strong muscles.

🥣 Greek Yogurt

A creamy, protein-packed alternative to mayonnaise that adds probiotics for gut health and digestive balance. It also contributes calcium and vitamin B12 for energy and bone strength.

🍋 Lemon (Zest & Juice)

Loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants that support immune health and collagen production. Lemon adds brightness, enhances flavor, and helps the body absorb iron from vegetables.

🌿 Fresh Dill

A fragrant Mediterranean herb known for aiding digestion and providing antioxidants. It pairs beautifully with fish and helps reduce bloating.

🧂 Capers with Brine

These tiny flavor bombs add a tangy, salty note while offering polyphenols — compounds that protect against oxidative stress and inflammation.

🥬 Celery

Hydrating and rich in fiber, celery supports healthy digestion and provides a light crunch. It’s also a source of potassium and antioxidants.

🧅 Green Onions

Offer gentle onion flavor with vitamins A, C, and K, supporting immune health and bone strength. They’re rich in antioxidants and low in calories.
