Benefits of Salmon:
It’s a nutritional powerhouse, offering a range of health benefits. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for heart health, reducing inflammation, and supporting brain function. Salmon is also an excellent source of high-quality protein, providing all the essential amino acids needed for muscle repair and growth. Additionally, it contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, B vitamins, and selenium, which contribute to overall health and well-being.
Wine Pairing:
A crisp, chilled bottle of Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent choice to serve with this dish. The wine’s bright acidity and citrus notes complement the richness of the fish, while its herbal undertones pair beautifully with the fresh dill and lemon used in the recipe.
Suggested Side Dishes:
To create a well-rounded meal, consider pairing your baked salmon with these delicious side dishes:
– Roasted Asparagus: Lightly seasoned with olive oil, salt, and pepper, roasted asparagus adds a delightful crunch and earthy flavour that complements the salmon perfectly.
– Quinoa Salad: A colourful quinoa salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and a lemon vinaigrette provides a refreshing and nutritious accompaniment.
– Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Creamy garlic mashed potatoes offer a comforting contrast to the flaky salmon, creating a harmonious balance of textures and flavours.
So Easy Salmon is not only a tasty and elegant dish but also a healthy choice packed with essential nutrients. Paired with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and served alongside thoughtfully selected side dishes, it makes for a memorable dining experience that will leave your guests craving more.
