40 minutes

Salmon with savoy cabbage is an elegant dish of French cuisine that embodies the harmony of flavors and textures. This exquisite recipe may be inspired by the traditions of the Brittany region, where seafood is paired with vegetables. The tender salmon fillet is wrapped in soft, slightly crispy leaves of savoy cabbage, giving it a pronounced flavor. Steaming preserves the fish's juiciness, while the final touch—fragrant olive oil and fresh lemon juice—adds brightness. Such a dish is perfect for both a light dinner and a festive lunch, highlighting the sophistication of French culinary art. It will pleasantly surprise guests with its original presentation, simplicity of ingredients, and richness of flavor.
