Health benefits of NO YOLKS® Maple Balsamic Glazed Salmon with Noodles

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for reducing inflammation and promoting cardiovascular health. It is also rich in vitamin D, which helps regulate insulin levels and improve mood, both of which are important for managing PCOS symptoms. Additionally, salmon provides a good amount of B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy production and helps maintain healthy nerve function. Including salmon in your diet can help balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being. Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Ingredients

1/2 (12 ounce) package NO YOLKS® Extra Broad Noodles
2 cups chopped green beans (fresh or thawed if frozen)
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless salmon fillets
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
1 cup torn fresh basil leaves

Instructions

Prepare the noodles according to package directions. Add the green beans 4 minutes before draining.
Whisk the vinegar with the syrup, mustard, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) each salt and pepper until combined. Whisk in the olive oil until well combined. Measure out and reserve 2 tablespoon (30 mL) of the dressing. Toss the hot cooked noodles and beans with the onion, red pepper, basil and remaining dressing.
Meanwhile, lightly coat a nonstick pan with cooking spray and set over medium heat. Season the salmon with the remaining salt and pepper. Add the salmon and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until just a hint of coral remains. Brush salmon with reserved dressing. Serve the noodle mixture topped with a piece of salmon.
