Why it’s good
This colourful salad is a refreshing alternative to heavier fish dishes. Rocket is naturally rich in dietary nitrates, while citrus fruits provide vitamin C, which helps protect nitric oxide from being broken down too quickly. Salmon contributes omega-3 fats that help maintain healthy blood vessels and circulation.
