It all gets served over a creamy yogurt sauce that\u2019s seasoned with smoked paprika, coriander and oregano.

This version features lightly spiced, broiled cod topped with a tangy red cabbage slaw. While you can use green instead, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/health-benefits-of-cabbage-8557536\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">red cabbage<\/a> contains anthocyanins, which have been shown to help reduce inflammation.

If you\u2019re keeping things simple at home, throw some chicken on the grill to serve alongside the salad. Looking for other salad ideas?
