Anti-Inflammatory Salad With Salmon

February 26, 2021

This is my go-to salad for the fall season. Not only is it pretty delicious, but it has many anti-inflammatory benefits as well.

Salmon is rich in the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Both of these fatty acids are essential for health and play a role in the body’s defences against inflammation.

Avocados are rich in anti-inflammatory oleic acid (omega-9 fatty acid).

Turmeric is an Ayurvedic herb that consists of several curcuminoids.  Curcumin has powerful anti-inflammatory properties.

Anti-Inflammatory Salad With Salmon

Ingredients

  • 2 cups organic salad greens
  • 4 oz wild-caught salmon
  • 1/2 cup butternut squash
  • 1/2 an avocado
  • 1/2 cup organic grape tomatoes

Dressing

  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp dillweed
  • 1/2 tsp all-purpose seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray a baking pan with cooking spray and place salmon.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any other herbs to your liking.  I like to add fresh basil from my garden.
  • Bake until salmon is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  • As salmon is baking, cut up salad ingredients and place them onto the mixed greens.
  • Add the cooked salmon, salad dressing, mix, and enjoy!
