Autism: Salmon Cakes with Mashed Cauliflower and Peas
Autism Benefits: • Wild Salmon is a powerful source of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which support brain function, reduce inflammation, and may improve behavior, focus, and social engagement. It also provides vitamin D, B12, and selenium, all crucial for neurological health. • Egg adds high-quality choline, essential for brain development, memory, and nervous system regulation. It also helps bind the salmon cakes. • Almond or Oat Flour provides a gluten-free binder. Almond flour is rich in vitamin E, magnesium, and healthy fats, while oat flour contains beta-glucans that support gut health and stable energy. • Lemon Juice enhances flavor and boosts vitamin C, which supports detox pathways and improves absorption of key minerals. • Steamed Cauliflower is rich in choline, sulfur-containing compounds (like glucosinolates), and fiber, which may support detoxification and gut balance. • Peas (optional) add gentle fiber, plant protein, and vitamin K—helpful for calming inflammation and supporting neurotransmitter production.
