This anti-inflammatory salmon recipe is perfect. It contains omega-3 rich salmon, pistachios and walnuts, which are known to reduce inflammation and alleviate arthritis symptoms. Garlic, a good source of antioxidants, and extra virgin olive oil, containing anti-inflammatory compounds, are also included. Cooked in an air fryer with very little added fat, this heart-healthy dish is both delicious and nutritious.
