AIP Friendly Garlic Herb Salmon
Salmon is one of those proteins that genuinely thrives under simple, bold treatment, and this oven-roasted version delivers in a big way. A fragrant blend of rosemary, thyme, parsley, garlic, turmeric, and ginger gets stirred together with olive oil and a splash of apple cider vinegar, then spooned generously over each skin-on fillet before roasting. The result is a deeply savory, herb-crusted crust with warm, golden undertones from the turmeric and ginger — no nightshades, no grains, no dairy, nothing that conflicts with the strict requirements of an autoimmune elimination approach. Roasting at 400°F means the fish cooks quickly and evenly, hitting that perfect flaky-but-still-moist texture in just 12 to 15 minutes. The apple cider vinegar adds a subtle brightness that does the work a squeeze of lemon might otherwise do, though lemon wedges on the side are a welcome finishing touch. This is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels special without requiring much effort, and it comes together in one bowl and one baking sheet. Four servings means it's easy to scale up or prep ahead for a week of clean, satisfying meals.
