This dish is so delicious it’s hard to believe it’s so good for you. The crust adds a lovely crunching flavour to any fish, it works best with Salmon, Barramundi, Sword Fish and Trout. The salmon and chia seeds provide a great source of Omega 3 essential fatty acids and the macadamia’s contribute to ‘good’ fat, known as monounsaturated fat.

TIP
Chia seeds are heat stable and do not lose their antioxidant benefits after heating so they are great to use in cooking. Add to stir fries, rubs for grilling meats, baking and more.
