What was pleasantly surprising about this low FODMAP Salmon recipe was the complete range of flavours created with just a few ingredients.
A low FODMAP diet cuts out many common products that contain certain foods. The principle behind the diet is to give the gut a chance to heal, especially if you have gastrointestinal problems like IBS.
High FODMAP foods are eliminated, or severely limited for 3-8 weeks, then gradually reintroduced into a low-FODMAP diet to see if they cause symptoms. It is not meant to be a permanent solution because it is very restrictive, but it may work well enough to be a treatment for people with gastrointestinal problems.
FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols, which are short chain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols that are poorly absorbed by the body, resulting in abdominal pain and bloating. They ferment in the large intestine (bowel) during digestion, drawing in water and producing carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane gas that causes the intestine to expand. FODMAPs occur in some foods naturally, or may be in most additives.
Sources of animal protein such as meat, chicken, fish and eggs are generally low in FODMAPs as they contain very little or no carbohydrate.
This low FODMAP Lime Salmon recipe is not only quick and delicious, it’s also gluten-free and packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fats, B vitamins and antioxidants.
Salmon, carrots, dandelion greens, sea salt, black pepper, olive oil, and limes are all part of the low FODMAP food-list.
What was pleasantly surprising about this dish was the complete range of flavours created with just a few ingredients. Marrying sour, sweet, salt, bitter, fats and heat turned out the best taste-sensation. For me, this was as satisfying as a full steak dinner with all the trimmings. But, better because it is healthy and healing, umami-yummy and tropical-getaway.
