Air-fried easy Salmon
Welcome to my first-ever non-vegan recipe. After 13 years without consuming meat, I recently started incorporating fish into my diet. While I won't delve into the details of my decision or contemplate venturing further into consuming other animal products, I am sharing a super easy-to-make air-fried salmon with you.
This is a new chapter in my culinary exploration; I have to say that this was my fourth time eating fish ever after those 13 years. It is not easy for me to prepare and eat the fish, so I take my time… each time I do.
A little bit about nutrition:
High in Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These fatty acids are essential for brain health, reducing inflammation in the body, and promoting heart health. They are also known to support healthy skin and hair.
Excellent Source of Protein: Salmon is a high-quality source of protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues in the body. Protein also plays a vital role in supporting muscle growth, maintaining bone health, and boosting metabolism.
Rich in Essential Nutrients: Salmon is packed with important nutrients such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, selenium, and potassium. Vitamin B12 is essential for nerve function and the production of red blood cells, while vitamin D is crucial for bone health and immune function. Selenium acts as an antioxidant and supports thyroid function, while potassium helps regulate blood pressure and maintain heart health.
Ideas for serving
One of my favorite combinations is a garlicky raw spinach salad with vibrant red cabbage, juicy tomato, tons of lemon. Baked sweet potato, along with some roasted broccoli and protein-rich edamame. This combination not only adds vibrant colors to the plate but also provides a range of flavors and textures that complement the richness of the salmon.
