Roasted Salmon with Garlic & Asparagus
Inflammation is a major cause of digestive distress, and omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon help reduce it. When combined with prebiotic-rich asparagus and garlic, this meal supports the growth of beneficial gut bacteria while protecting the gut lining.

- 4 salmon fillets about 6 oz each
- 1 pound fresh asparagus trimmed
- 4 cloves garlic minced

- Place salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
