De-stress and detoxify by eating anti-inflammatory foods—and avoiding inflammatory ones. A clean, anti-inflammatory diet rich in Omega-3s, monounsaturated fats, and antioxidants, while being low in sugar, can make weight loss easier, slow down the aging process, and decrease our risk of disease, including heart disease and stroke.

Anti-inflammatory lineup of stars includes:

• Salmon, flax, and other omega-3 rich foods
• colorful, antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables
• Avocados, nuts, and olive oil
• spices, especially the “warm” ones like turmeric, ginger, garlic, chili, and cinnamon

Here’s a super-duper simple salmon recipe that you can whip up in minutes for your anti-inflammatory dinner.

Thai Sweet Chili Salmon

INGREDIENTS

• 4- 4 oz salmon fillets, skin on or off
• Pinch of salt
• 2-3 tsp. lemon juice
• 1/4 cup + 2 tsp Thai sweet chili sauce
• 2-3 tsp green onions, chopped
• Cooking spray or foil

1. Lay down salmon fillets in a baking dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or lined with foil. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice and sprinkle each fillet with a pinch of salt and top with 1 tbsp Thai sweet chili sauce. Brush or rub with your fingers to coat fish with sauce evenly on top, bottom and sides. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 30min.
2. Turn on oven’s broiler on High and position top oven rack 5″ – 6″ below the heat source.
3. Broil for 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush top of each fillet with 2 tsp of Thai sweet chili sauce. Return to the oven and broil for another 4-5 minutes or until salmon has caramelized. Serve hot garnished with green onions, extra sauce (if desired) with brown rice and steamed broccoli.
