What food is high in protein AND anti-inflammatory?
Salmon contains 24g protein in 4 oz and a whopping 1.2g omega-3 fatty acids. I recommend my clients to aim for 2 grams of omega-3s daily. I recommend wild-caught Alaskan salmon if possible.
Omega-3s are essential fatty acids that play a part in almost every aspect of health. They affect your eyes, brain, heart, nervous system, and overall health. However, your body does not produce omega-3s, so to maintain healthy levels you need to incorporate foods that are high in omega-3s.
Most commonly, people talk about how omega 3s help with heart health. They contribute to healthy circulation and cholesterol, which are both great for your heart and optimal cardiovascular function. However, omega 3s also have anti-inflammatory properties and are beneficial for your overall health and lowering chronic inflammation.
Teriyaki Salmon Bowls
PROTEIN 33g | FIBER 10g
Time: 20 mins | Servings: 2
Ingredients:
2, 4 oz wild-caught Alaskan Salmon fillets
8 oz Teriyaki sauce (my favorite is Primal Kitchen)
1 cucumber
2 carrots
3 radishes
1 bunch of cilantro
Scallions, chopped
1 cup Jasmine rice or cauliflower rice
Avocado
Sesame seeds, for garnish
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Coat salmon with teriyaki sauce and sprinkle sesame seeds. Bake for 8 minutes.
Prepare jasmine rice or cauliflower rice as directed.
Using a vegetable peeler, run the blade down the length of the carrot and cucumber to form “ribbons”. Chop the radish and cilantro.
Assemble the meal:
Add about 1/2 cup of jasmine rice or cauliflower rice to the bowl. Top with salmon, cucumber, carrot, radish, cilantro, avocado, and green onion. Drizzle more teriyaki sauce, if desired.
Enjoy!
