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)

  • 8 - 10 asparagus spears
