It’s that wonderful time of year when everyone’s being super boring, whether they be doing ‘dry Jan’, adhering to the latest diet fad or have become rampant gym bunnies.
Needless to say, I have shamelessly not committed myself to doing any of these things and am enjoying my Jan to its fullest.
But that’s not to say that I don’t love a delicious healthy meal, which is exactly what this recipe delivers. The point I’m making is that no matter what path you’ve chosen to start your New Year on, this dish is one for you.
Super easy to make, tasty as hell and full of body nourishing ingredients; this is a serious ‘Get the Glow’ plate of food.

Haha I hope she likes it Heba! xxx
Wow! This looks amazing!! I have a friend who is a complete mango addict so might make it for her – she’s a veggie (a proper one, unlike pescatarian me…) so do you think crumbled feta would work instead of salmon? xxx

Humhummmm I don’t like feta so can’t say for certain on that one but tbh I think it’s really delicious just as is without the salmon and with the crunchy bits from the pumpkin and pomegranate seeds! Maybe try it with a little feta before you pour it all on and see what you think 🙂 xxx
Delicious photos Andrea! I have a spiralliser at home and mango season is coming up in India… any suggestions on what I should substitute salmon with for a veggie version? xxx
So jealous of mango season! Fave fruit by miles. And I would just leave it out and have it as is tbh, still so tasty! xxx
I’ve been wondering about getting a spiralizer and after reading this, I’m seriously considering it!
You won’t regret it 😉 xxx
This looks ever so moorish! My stomach just rumbled slightly looking at this delicious meal. How lovely!
A great post and inspired to create a delicious creation inspired by this dish!
