Why it works
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis: Salmon, asparagus, garlic and ginger bring flavor without soy, legumes, dairy or seaweed.
- Low-histamine: Fresh salmon gets a garlic-ginger honey glaze with no stock, fermented sauce, citrus or tomato.
- Autoimmune protocol (AIP): Salmon, asparagus, olive oil, honey, garlic and ginger keep grains, dairy, eggs and nightshades off the plate.
AIP check: watch for nightshade spices (paprika, chili, cayenne), seed spices (cumin, coriander seed), seed oils and hidden sugar. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
