Health benefits of Quick Poached Salmon With Speedy Rat-Atat-A-Touille

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.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 small red onion, roughly diced
1 small zucchini, cut into 1/3-inch pieces
1 small eggplant, cut into 1/3-inch pieces
1 sprig of thyme
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 skinless salmon fillets (about 8 oz each)

Instructions

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, ready to poach the salmon.
Meanwhile, melt the coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium to high heat. Add the onion, zucchini and eggplant and stir-fry for about 4 minutes or until they are just starting to soften and color.
Drop in the thyme and stir for another minute, then add the tomato paste and mix to coat the vegetables. Keep frying, stirring continuously, for about 45 seconds before pouring in the balsamic vinegar and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and let the ratatouille bubble away for about 10 minutes, or just until the vegetables are soft. If it seems to be getting too thick, add another 1/4 cup or so of water.
While the veggies are simmering away, slide the salmon fillets into the boiling water. Bring back to a simmer, then cook the fish for 10 minutes, or until just cooked through.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully lift the fish out of the water and drain well. Serve up your yummy ratatouille topped with the juicy salmon.
