I love the honesty that accompanies this image of a beautifully plated piece of salmon. Yakman admits that the veggies were frozen and that the pesto came from a jar, but is also careful to state that the fish is fresh from a local market. I like the combination of time saving convenience foods with the lovely piece of salmon. Sometimes that's just what you have to do to get dinner on the table.

They've just vegetables, that are frozen. It's not like buying a frozen TV dinner where all sorts of other stuff goes into it.
In fact, according to Nutrion Australia frozen vegetables can be more nutritious than fresh! http://www.nutritionaustralia.org/Food_Facts/FAQ/frozen_freshveg_faq.asp
