Say hello to our high protein Salmon Cucumber Roll! This is the perfect bariatric friendly option for a festive lunch or New Year's Eve starter. Resembling sushi, it is a protein, vegetable, fibre, and healthy fat source! In this month’s Cooking With Celebrate episode, we will walk you through how to (successfully) build, wrap, and serve this delicious dish!
In our Salmon Cucumber Roll, we used canned salmon, which is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and vital vitamins like B12, vitamin D. Avocado is included for an additional layer of healthy fats and fibre. Lastly, we use cucumber and tomato for a crunch and texture variety in the roll. With all of these ingredients rolled together, it makes for a nutrient packed recipe that even non-bariatric patients will love!
