Asparagus Spears and Salmon

Salmon is one of my favourite fish dishes to cook its easy, quick and works well in most meals. Roast some asparagus as a side and get your daily source of fiber. Along with your avocado and kale asparagus is a great vegetable for detoxifying and helps your body breakdown harmful compounds. For pregnant women asparagus is great as it contains a large amount of folate which is proven to decrease the risk of neural defects within the foetus, so get plenty of asparagus mothers to be!
