Good quality protein is a mainstay of the anti-inflammatory meal plans at EBS. Protein is essential for blood-sugar management, immune health, muscle building, and hormone balance - every aspect of good health relies on protein.

This Cod and Sweet Potato Traybake combines high-quality protein from cod and almonds with antioxidant-rich vegetables and olive oil.

Cod is a wonderful source of selenium, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6. Selenium is a potent antioxidant mineral often lacking in our modern diets. We need selenium to protect cells against inflammatory damage, and also for optimum thyroid function.

Sweet potato is rich in beta-carotene, the antioxidant that gives its flesh such a strong orange color. Beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A in the body and plays an important role in immune function, healthy vision, and skin health.

Tenderstem broccoli complements the uplifting flavor of the sweet potato and provides glucosinolates - key compounds for detoxification pathways in the liver.

Tomatoes provide another antioxidant - lycopene - and bring a juicy sweetness to this easy traybake recipe.
