Sardines contain the same inflammation-taming fats as salmon but are less expensive. Pairing sardines with tuna tones down their concentrated flavor; adjust the ratio if you like a pronounced taste. For a tuna-melt twist, spread this salad on sliced whole-grain bread, sprinkle with chopped tomatoes, and broil until hot.

Look for wild rather than farmed salmon; it’s higher in anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats and lower in possible contaminants. Rosemary contains an antioxidant called carnosol that targets inflammation. Steaming avoids the creation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), chemicals that result when meats and fats are cooked at high heat; research implicates AGEs as a major food-based inflammation trigger.

A fresh, fruity sauce enhances the earthy sweetness of the spiced fish.

Prep tips: Coriander and Mint Pesto with Steamed Sole If you enjoy spicy food, a few zigzags of Sriracha sauce across the top add both extra taste and eye appeal. Serving tip: You’ll have leftover pesto, so use it on pasta, swirled into veggie or bean soup, or spooned over your favorite protein.

These cakes put leftover cooked salmon to delicious use as a pretty lunch or light dinner rich in beneficial omega-3s.
