Salmon with zucchini is a refined dish of French cuisine that embodies the harmony of freshness and rich flavor. The tender salmon fillet infused with lemon juice, thyme, and garlic acquires an exquisite aroma, while its softness perfectly complements the stewed zucchini and tomatoes. The light acidity of lemon enhances the sweetness of tomatoes, and parsley adds freshness. This dish highlights the philosophy of French gastronomy — simplicity of ingredients with maximum expression of their flavors. Salmon, rich in beneficial fatty acids, makes this dish not only tasty but also healthy. Serving it on a vegetable bed makes it not only elegant but also light, perfectly suited for a dinner accompanied by a glass of white wine.
