Anti-Inflammatory. Grain Free. Gluten Free. Dairy Free. Soy Free. Sugar Free. Low Carb.

This is one of my favorite ways to make wild salmon and get a healthy boost of Omega-3's:) These healthy fats help to reduce inflammation, prevent heart disease, and regulate metabolism. Learn more about how to get the right balance of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fats on our post: Omega-3 & Omega-6 Fats for an Anti-Inflammatory Diet!

This recipe is a regular meal on the menu in my house because it's super fast, packed with flavors and pairs well with any steamed, roasted, or sauteed vegetables. I like to add a friendly carbohydrate like sauteed zucchini noodles, cauliflower-rice, quinoa, or black rice to round out the meal. Additionally, ginger is a powerful, medicinal food that can help to reduce inflammation and improve digestion so I like to get it into my diet everyday!

I usually double this recipe and eat leftovers on top of a salad for quick, weekday lunches. If you like easy and delicious, anti-inflammatory meals like these, check out our 10 Day Sugar Detox eBook, it has over 30 recipes that will nourish, balance, and heal your body!
