Garlic Oil & Rosemary Roasted Salmon

I wanted to introduce you to a great low-fructose and low-FODMAP cooking ingredient: garlic-infused oil. I am a little sensitive to garlic. I can eat cooked garlic in small amounts, but I know many people are very sensitive to it. Well, this is a great way to add garlic flavor to your dishes, without the “actual garlic.”

Garlic contains fructans (fructose chains), which are not absorbed by the small intestine and thus travel to the large intestine, where they are fermented and cause gas, bloating and other issues in people with fructose malabsorption and IBS. Wheat and onions are also big sources of fructans in the average diet.

In a garlic-infused oil, the garlic has been soaked in the oil and then removed. What you are left with is the flavor of garlic, but not the flesh of the garlic, which is where the fructans are located. You can make your own if you like to ensure that the garlic is removed and that there are no fructans. I have two recipes on my site: Quick Garlic Oil and Oven-Roasted Garlic Oil.

You can also purchase garlic infused oil that is certified low-FODMAP. I highly recommend FODY Garlic Infused Oil to add a wonderful garlic flavor to your dishes.

I thought this roasted salmon recipe would be perfect to try the garlic infused oil in. I kept seeing this Pioneer Woman method for roasting salmon on Pinterest and finally decided to try it. Bottom line, it’s the best way to cook salmon ever! The texture and flavor of the salmon is just perfect every time. I make salmon for dinner at least once a week, and lately I’ve been gravitating towards this recipe every time. I have yet to get tired of it. Here is my version, using garlic-infused oil and rosemary.
