Salmon is very healthy, but make sure you buy it from a hygienic place and cook it thoroughly to avoid any stomach issues. Also, if you have any high cholesterol or other underlying health conditions, it is always a good idea to check with your doctor before majorly altering your diet for weight loss.

The best way is to pan-sear or grill it with very little olive oil, lemon, and pepper. It fits perfectly into a weight loss routine. Just remember to pair this clean diet with at least 30-40 minutes of brisk walking or light exercise daily if your doctor says you are fit for it.

I believe in keeping food as natural as possible, so steaming the fish with light herbs is wonderful and gentle on the stomach. Along with such light meals, practicing daily pranayama helps regulate your metabolism naturally. It has really helped me maintain a peaceful mind and healthy body weight over the years.

As a health professional, I always tell people to avoid deep frying salmon because it destroys the good omega-3 fats. Just bake it or lightly pan-fry it with a drop of oil. It is a great lean protein source, but keep an eye on your overall portion sizes too.

Honestly yaar, just air fry it or use a non-stick pan with a tiny bit of butter. Salmon actually cooks super fast in its own natural oils, so you don't need to add extra grease at all. Just squeeze some fresh nimbu on top and it is sorted!

Since I deal with PCOS, I try to bake salmon with garlic and herbs to keep the inflammation down. It works well for my weight management, but every body is different. Don't stress too much and see how your system responds to it.
