Salmon delivers omega-3 fats, which help calm the low-grade inflammation common in PCOS, while broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable that supports hormone clearance. One tray, almost no washing up.

Ingredients
2 salmon fillets, about 140g each
1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
1 red onion, cut into wedges
1 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon, half sliced and half juiced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt and black pepper
Method
Heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F and line a large baking tray.
Toss the broccoli, onion and tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, the garlic, salt and pepper, then spread out on the tray.
Roast for 12 minutes, then push the vegetables to the edges and nestle the salmon in the middle.
Drizzle the salmon with the remaining oil, top with lemon slices, and roast 12–14 minutes more until it flakes easily.
Finish with the lemon juice and a crack of pepper.
Tips & swaps
Frozen salmon works — thaw fully and pat very dry so it roasts rather than steams.
Aim for oily fish twice a week; mackerel or sardines are cheaper and work here too.
Keeping it
Keeps 2 days in the fridge. Lovely cold, flaked over salad.
Track what it does for you
Whether a meal helps is personal. PCOS Ai logs what you eat alongside your symptoms and cycle, then shows which foods line up with how you actually feel — from your own data, not a generic list.
General wellness information, not medical or dietetic advice. Nothing here diagnoses, treats or cures PCOS. Nutrition figures are per-serving estimates. Check with your doctor or a registered dietitian before making significant changes — especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, diabetic or managing a food allergy.
