When looking to eat on the lighter side but don’t want to sacrifice flavor, salmon is a great option. Rich in protein and healthy fats, salmon can be air-fried, grilled, or baked. Salmon’s flavor profile can be adjusted by adding a tangy glaze, an herb marinade, by coating it in crushed nuts, or by serving a special sauce.
