Why Make This Low-FODMAP Salmon Recipe?

Salmon is one of those proteins that makes you feel good about your life choices. It’s rich, flaky, and works well with almost anything you throw at it—especially when you coat it in lemon, herbs, and a little garlic-infused olive oil. This low-FODMAP salmon recipe gives you all the flavor without the FODMAP chaos, and it’s just the kind of meal that’ll make you want to slow down and enjoy every bite.

Let’s Talk About That Low-FODMAP Cauliflower-Parsnip Purée

Here’s the deal: cauliflower is low-FODMAP in small doses (up to ½ cup), so it’s in there, but it’s not flying solo. We’re bringing parsnips into the mix because they’re naturally sweet and creamy. It’s like a mash-up between mashed potatoes and something your grandma would be proud of, but without the "pass the Tums" aftermath. The purée is the perfect complement to this low-FODMAP salmon recipe and gives the dish that comforting feel.

Tips for Nailing This Low-FODMAP Salmon Recipe Without Breaking a Sweat

Don’t Stress About the Herbs: This isn’t a cooking competition. If you don’t have fresh thyme, use dried. If you forget to zest the lemon before juicing it, just roll with it. It’s all going to taste great.
The Purée Is Your Friend: Whether you like a smooth purée or something a little chunky, you’re in control. Add a splash more milk if you need to get it just right. It’s your meal; you make the rules. My favorite tool for this is an immersion blender for that smooth as silk texture but feel free to use whatever you have handy.
