30 minutes

Wheat noodles with salmon and cream cheese is an exquisite dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of fish with a rich creamy texture. The history of such recipes traces back to Italian and French gastronomy, where creamy sauces traditionally complement seafood. Tender salmon, fried to a golden crust, harmonizes with aromatic leek, while cream cheese gives the dish a velvety consistency. Cherry tomatoes add fresh sweet-sour notes, and Dijon mustard highlights the flavor depth. The noodles soaked in this delightful sauce become perfectly balanced. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a romantic evening, while fresh basil adds a touch of light spiciness to the composition. Such a dish not only delights the taste but also provides a sense of gastronomic pleasure.
