Baked salmon with zucchini is a true embodiment of lightness and harmony of flavors. European cuisine values simplicity in cooking, and this recipe reflects that philosophy. The delicate salmon fillet, soaked in a light brine, becomes exceptionally juicy, while the thin overlapping slices of zucchini gain softness and a delicate taste. Dill adds a fresh aroma, and a slice of lemon provides an exquisite tang that enhances the fish's natural notes. Baking in paper preserves the juices and richness of the ingredients, making the dish incredibly tender. It is perfect for both a romantic dinner and a cozy family lunch, offering pleasure in every bite.
