Ask a question about this stepServe.
Ask a question about this stepThe salmon has a lot of taste by itself, so I don't add any other seasonings, especially not salt. This recipe can easily be increased by just doubling the amounts. If fresh tomatoes are not available, a can of chopped tomatoes will do.
Ask a question about this stepA great way to get some greens into your diet. Of course, this is just as good without the salmon if you are vegetarian. In that case, I might add a few seasonings like garlic, salt, pepper, and basil.
