Health benefits of The Scandalous Scandinavian

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

2 large eggs
1 tbsp/14 g low-fat mayonnaise
1 tbsp/14 g low-fat Greek yogurt
2 tsp/8 g grainy mustard
1 tbsp/8.6 g finely chopped capers
1 tbsp/4 g dill, roughly chopped, plus more for garnish
2 tbsp/20 g finely chopped red onion
Several grates of freshly ground black pepper
4 pieces pumpernickel bread
2 cups/40 g mixed greens
8 thin slices beefsteak tomato
8 oz/230 g smoked salmon

Instructions

To make hard-boiled eggs, place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let sit for 12 minutes. Rinse in cool water. When cool enough to handle, peel the eggs and rinse off any bits of shell. Cut each egg into 8 wedges. Set aside.
To make the caper-onion mayonnaise, combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, grainy mustard, capers, dill, red onion and black pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
To assemble the sandwiches, toast the bread, if desired, and place on a work surface. For each sandwich, spread 2 teaspoons/8 grams caper-onion mayonnaise on each slice bread. Top with 1/2 cup/10 grams greens, 2 slices tomato, 2 ounces/56 grams smoked salmon and 4 wedges of egg. Sprinkle with additional dill.
