Simple Salmon Avocado Sandwich

4 servings Prep time: 10 min Cook time: 2-3 min

Sometimes a sandwich just hits the spot, and this one could honestly be made for any meal of the day. 

I recommend trying to be conscious of your bread choices to avoid processed carbs and get maximum nutrition, so this recipe uses a grain-free seed bread. You could also try some other flourless gluten-free breads or a traditional organic sourdough, which can be more gut-friendly and contain less gluten than other grain-based breads. 

The healthy fats from salmon and avocado make this sandwich extra filling, along with the protein from the salmon as well. Broccoli sprouts turn this already nutritious sandwich into a nutritional powerhouse, providing high levels of glucoraphanin, which your body converts into sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is linked to reduced inflammation and cellular protection from things like cancer. Broccoli sprouts are also high in fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron. 

I hope you enjoy!

Wishing you health and happiness,
