Do you know the benefits of eating wild salmon? It has a lot more omega-3s than farmed salmon! Unlike the latter, wild salmon doesn’t contain any hormones or toxic chemicals. Salmon is known to be a great source of protein, vitamins and minerals. This dish will bring healthy protein into your diet while still keeping it delicious! You can have a side dish with quinoa that is high in fiber which can lower cholesterol levels. You can also eat it with shirataki noodles made in white sauce and fresh vegetables!
This meal combines quinoa or rice with a flavorful wild salmon topped with garlic slices.
Ingredients
- 0.5 lb wild salmon (preferably from Alaska)
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 spoon of avocado oil
- 3 pieces of sliced garlic
- Olive oil

- 1 Avocado
Preparation
1. Season the salmon with salt and pepper to taste
2. Add avocado oil, and place the garlic slices and salmon (skin side) in a hot pan.

4. Remove the garlic slices from the pan when they turn dark roasted brown.
5. Now, turn the salmon and cook it for 35-40 seconds more. It’ll continue cooking after you remove it from the heat.
6. When transferring the salmon to the plate, add the garlic slices you removed before.
7. Pour a little olive oil on top of the salmon before serving
8. You can eat wild salmon with quinoa/rice, broccoli or any other vegetable (previously steamed), avocado slices, and salad!

How This Recipe Benefits Your Thyroid
1. Wild Salmon
Wild salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation and support thyroid hormone production. It also provides vitamin D and selenium, both crucial for thyroid function and immune health.
2. Avocado Oil
Avocado oil is high in monounsaturated fats, which help support healthy thyroid function. It also helps with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins that are essential for thyroid health.
3. Garlic
Garlic contains sulfur compounds that support detoxification and have anti-inflammatory properties. This helps reduce oxidative stress on the thyroid and promotes overall health.
4. Broccoli (or Asparagus/Zucchini)
Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables contain iodine and antioxidants that support thyroid function. These vegetables also contain fiber, which aids in digestion and hormone regulation.
5. Olive Oil
Olive oil is rich in polyphenols and antioxidants, which help reduce inflammation and support healthy hormone balance, including thyroid hormones.
6. Avocado
Avocados are a good source of healthy fats and potassium, which help regulate blood sugar levels. Stable blood sugar is important for thyroid health as it helps in balancing thyroid hormones and preventing dysfunction.
