Omega-Packed Salmon Fillets For Asthma

The omega-3 fatty acids in high-oil fish, such as salmon, sardines, tuna, and mackerel, are anti-inflammatory. Studies suggest that diets higher in the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil may improve asthma.

Note: Don’t overdo the baking time, or your fish will be dry and unappealing. If you keep it pink in the center and cook it until it just flakes at the touch of a fork, this omega-3 powerhouse is divine.

  • 2 salmon fillets (6 to 8 ounces, or 170 to 225g each)
  • 2 teaspoons (10ml) olive oil
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons (14g) bread crumbs
