Baked salmon with herb and caper relish is a harmony of Mediterranean flavors. The juiciness of the fish infused with the aroma of Provençal herbs and freshly ground pepper is complemented by a refreshing relish of lemon, capers, and parsley. Historically, this recipe traces back to the traditions of French and Italian gastronomy, where simplicity and natural flavors are emphasized. The dish's elegance makes it an ideal choice for a festive dinner, while its ease of preparation is a find for everyday menus. Salmon, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, not only delights the palate but also benefits health. Serving it with sauce highlights its richness and freshness, creating a dish worthy of the finest restaurants. Exquisite yet accessible, this recipe is an ode to seafood cuisine and the art of subtle combinations.
