Salmon Baked In Cream With Sweet Bay, Thyme And Dill Recipe
Award-winning food educator and cookbook author Jennifer McGruther's The Nourished Kitchen not only teaches how to prepare wholesome, nourishing foods, but also encourages a mindful approach cooking and a celebration of old-world culinary traditions. But don't think that means these highly nutritious recipes are for dieters: this salmon in cream sauce is about as satisfying as it gets.
A rich and buttery fish, salmon pairs beautifully with cream. While heavy cream may threaten to overpower the delicate nature of most fish, salmon's distinct flavor shines, and the cream melts into a simple sauce as it bakes. A sprinkling of parsley and dill infuse the rich sauce with a sparkle of brightness.
