05 Mar Baked Salmon with Pears
This is a powerhouse meal supporting insulin resistance. It combines lean protein, healthy fats, and fibre—key nutrients that help stabilize blood sugar and improve metabolic health.
Salmon is rich in omega-3s, which help reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. Chronic inflammation is a key driver of insulin resistance, and omega-3s have been shown to lower markers of inflammation while supporting better glucose metabolism.
Pears are a fantastic source of soluble fibre, which helps slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
A high-protein balanced meal like this promotes fullness, helps with cravings and keeps you full.
