Here are the five of the best detox recipes you can make tonight so that you can start healing your body from the inside out.  

#1 – Baked Cod Salad Topped With Salsa 

Cod is the preferred fish for ‘fish and chips’ dishes that you find at most restaurants. However, it comes breaded in highly inflammatory ingredients, such as enriched flour and vegetable oils, which contain gluten and trans fats and should be avoided. 

This recipe calls for baked cod – a delicious white fish that is an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids and protein to keep you full. We pair it with fiber-rich greens to promote digestion and flush toxins and homemade salsa with antioxidant vitamins that you’ll want to put on everything! 

Salad ingredients: 

• 1 to 2 cups fresh greens (arugula, baby kale, and spinach work well) 
• 3 to 4 ounces of wild cod 
• 1 tablespoon olive oil 
• Juice from ½ fresh lime or lemon 
• Broccoli or alfalfa sprouts 

Salsa ingredients: 

• One cup chopped tomato 
• ½ cup chopped red onion 
• ½ cup drained capers 

• ¼ cup fresh cilantro 
• ½ tsp cumin 
• â…› tsp cayenne 
• 2 tablespoons lime juice 

Directions: 

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 

1. Season the cod with olive oil, sea salt, and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes or until the fish becomes slightly flakey. 

1. Meanwhile, prepare the salsa by combining all salsa ingredients in a bowl and gently tossing together.  

1. Add the fresh greens to a big salad bowl and top with the freshly baked cod. 

1. Top the fish with the salsa. 

1. Drizzle one tablespoon of olive and the juice of one-half of a lemon or lime over the salad and enjoy!

• ½ cup zucchini noodles 
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
