Air Fried Spicy Salmon

Today’s catch is Air Fried Spicy Salmon. We love a good salmon dinner because this delish fish is loaded with protein, potassium, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin B12. In this recipe, we cut fresh salmon into cubes and soak it in a delectable marinate that combines cool Lifeway Kefir and spicy sriracha. Lifeway Kefir is a natural fit for sauces, dips, and marinades because of its full flavor and its rich and creamy consistency. We drop the salmon pieces into an air fryer, cook it for a few minutes, and then serve it in a bowl with jasmine rice, chopped cucumber, and sliced avocado. It’s a tasty, complete meal that’s easy to make and is loaded with nutrients.

The Benefits of Cultured Dairy for Better Health:

Research continues to show the importance of eating healthy foods, including cultured dairy such as kefir, for better gut health, a strong immune system, and to support the microbiome. Fermented foods like kefir hold important value in this line of research due to the link between the gut-brain axis and overall health. Specifically, kefir has been shown to help diversify the microbiome, improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and even help support healthier blood sugar levels and improve levels of satiety due to how it triggers the release of GLP-1 since it is an excellent source of protein and high in bioavailable nutrition.

Lifeway Kefir contains a variety of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones and overall health: vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Lifeway also offers our artisan-made Farmer Cheese, a creamy cultured cheese made with live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome that is also an excellent source of complete protein.
