This dish has plenty of nutrients to support your mental health as well as your gut health. Asparagus is a great source of folate which is needed to prevent depression, while the smoked salmon is a rich source of omega 3 fats which boosts production of hormones that help you stay calm.- (Dr Sarah Schenker, dietitian)

Ingredients

  • 8 - 10 asparagus spears 
  • 2 eggs 
  • 50 g smoked salmon 
  • 2 Slices of Wholegrain sourdough toast (NB: Sourdough bread is fermented and good quality sourdough has a much lower gluten content than conventional bread - so some people find it easier to digest)

Bring a frying pan of water to the boil.

Add asparagus and cook for 2 minutes until bright green and crisp, then drain.

5.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the egg to a plate. Repeat with remaining egg.
