Every ingredient in this recipe has anti-inflammatory properties. Wild-caught salmon contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids that can help reduce inflammation in the body. High levels of antioxidants in broccoli and cauliflower also fight inflammation while garlic, extra virgin olive oil and lemon complete the inflammation-fighting roster for this quick and easy, low-carb dinner.
