A practical and delicious approach to managing psoriasis through a diet focused on 10 easy anti-inflammatory foods that soothe skin and reduce inflammation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ounces wild salmon (fresh or frozen, skin-on if possible)
  • 2 cups leafy greens (spinach, kale, or Swiss chard)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (organic if available)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger or 1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
  • 1/4 cup walnuts (raw or toasted)
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Rinse 6 ounces of wild salmon under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let it rest while you prep the rest of the ingredients. (5 minutes)
  2. Wash 2 cups of your preferred leafy greens thoroughly. Chop roughly and set aside in a large mixing bowl. (5 minutes)
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger or 1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir until combined. (3 minutes)
  4. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds and 1/4 cup walnuts until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool. (5 minutes)
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes without moving it, allowing the skin to crisp. Flip carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork. (8-10 minutes)
  6. Drizzle the turmeric-ginger dressing over the greens, then sprinkle the toasted flaxseeds and walnuts on top. Add 1/2 cup blueberries and 1/2 sliced ripe avocado. Toss gently to combine. (3 minutes)
  7. Place the cooked salmon on a plate alongside your vibrant salad. Enjoy immediately to savor the fresh flavors and nutritional benefits.

Notes

Use fresh turmeric root if turmeric powder is old to maintain potency. Avoid overcooking salmon to keep it moist and flaky; aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C). Toast nuts and seeds lightly to release oils without burning. Multitask by prepping salad and dressing while salmon cooks. Store leftovers separately and reheat salmon gently to avoid drying.
