Healthy curried salmon wraps are great for a quick and easy lunch. Packed full of flavour and goodness they are a real winner. Perfect for lighter lunches as the days get longer.
I used fresh salmon in these wraps but tinned works just as well. Tinned tuna is also good to use and again it’s quick and nutritious. Try to eat fish 3 times a week to benefit from their omega 3 essential fatty acids.
Using wholewheat tortilla’s continues the healthy theme of these healthy curried salmon wraps. And curry powder and red onion add bite and flavour. Go on, try them!
Salmon Health Benefits – skin
Salmon is rich in Omega 3 essential fatty acids which are great for helping with inflammation. Omega 3 is better than Omega 6 as in the body it converts to anti-inflammatory compounds. The specific fatty acids in Omega 3 which are helpful are the long-chain fatty acids of EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid).
Eating anti-inflammatory foods helps with skin health and also supports the cardiovascular system.
Fatty acids in oily fish support the cell membranes which give cells their shape and are made up of a double layer of phospholipids (a fatty substance). To maintain cell health a steady stream of fatty acids is required and specifically omega 3 essential fatty acids. When the cell membranes are working as they should, the skin functions better with moisture and nutrients retained more effectively.
Salmon Health Benefits – Cardiovascular health
Studies have shown that a diet rich in Omega 3 has a positive effect on heart health. Here, lower incidences of cardiovascular heart disease where higher levels of Omega 3 were seen.
The combination of curry powder and red onion, together with plenty of lemon juice gives the wrap a real zing. Go and try it – you’ll be hooked!!!!
