You don’t eat enough fish because you don’t know how to make it taste good. The solution is threefold: oil, garlic, and lemon. With just these ingredients, you can make any fish dish flavorful — and ab-friendly. Exhibit A, this salmon recipe.
HOW IT WORKS: Oil adds moisture to fish, lemon cuts its fishy flavor, and garlic improves its aroma.
