Roast Salmon Salad

Print

When I’m having an IBS flare, I don’t normally like to eat raw vegetables as they can be difficult to digest when your gut is already inflamed. So, I do like the French do – I lightly sautee my veggies until they begin to soften and then toss in the greens just until they are warm. I love this quick and easy lunch as it is filling yet light and healthy.

Further Food Commentary:

This roasted salmon salad is rich in monounsaturated fats, protein, potassium and vitamin A. Monounsaturated fats help to reduce the level of LDL (bad) cholesterol in your blood, lowering your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Protein helps build your muscles and keeps you full for an extended period of time. Potassium works as an electrolyte and plays an important role in muscle contraction. Vitamin A is an integral part of our vision, skin, and immunity. Every person may respond to foods differently during an IBS flare. Keep a log of the foods you eat and take note of your symptoms.

    I like that this recipe can work with other fish like cod, sea bass, or artic char too! Nice to get creative with this one.
