Salmon with mint salsa is a refined combination of fresh herbs and the rich flavor of sea fish, worthy of the best restaurants in Europe. The dish's origins lie in Mediterranean cuisine, where mint and basil are often used for refreshing sauces. The salsa made from a mix of aromatic herbs, capers, and anchovies gives the delicate salmon an expressive taste with spicy notes. The pan-seared fillet has a crispy crust, while the fresh green salad served alongside enhances the dish's lightness. Perfect for festive dinners or light summer meals, especially when paired with white wine. This dish is a harmony of flavors, freshness, and simplicity in preparation that will delight even the most discerning gourmets.
