    Make gut healing salmon cakes keto

    This recipe can also be a great as a keto recipe, just leave out the honey! A perfect post gym dinner for those of you on a ketogenic diet. It is high good quality fats and proteins to keep you satiated. 

    Good for your gut

    This gut healing salmon cakes recipe is full of amazing omega-3 fatty acids, proteins and many essential vitamins and minerals that all contribute to healing any damage or inflammation in the gut. At the same time this gut healing recipe is void of gluten, refined sugar and saturated fats which can set your gut health back.

    Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation in the gut leading to better gut health. Omega-3 fatty acids also have a prebiotic effect on gut bacteria, increasing the diversity thus increasing gut health. Its an amazingly important nutrient that many of us are lacking in our diet!

    Proteins are essential for repairing any damage to the gut, after all thats exactly what our tissues are made up of! This gut healing recipe provides high quality proteins from the salmon and the eggs.

    Vitamin D from the salmon and the egg yolks is a gut protective nutrient. Good vitamin D levels is associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer and plays a key role in nerve, muscle and immune system function.

    Use good quality salmon in gut healing salmon cakes

    Any salmon is suitable for this recipe and will still provide you with nourishment. However if you can afford to spend a little more on your salmon then go for it. Higher quality salmon is caught wild rather than farmed salmon. Farmed salmon can be contaminated with chemicals like antibiotics and pesticides. When I want to treat myself I love to get this Wild alaskan Sockeye Salmon from M&S. The colour is absolutely magnificent. But again, it is expensive, so any salmon you can afford is still very beneficial.

    Other benefits of including salmon in your diet

    • Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon improves cardiovascular and heart health
    • Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA) in salmon boosts brain health
    • Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon fights overall inflammation in the body
