Baked salmon with pink pepper

6 servings

25 minutes

Baked salmon with pink pepper is a refined combination of fresh fish and spicy seasonings born in sunny Italy, where simple yet exquisite flavors are cherished. Salmon, known for its tender and buttery taste, gains a delightful spicy note from pink pepper, adding a slight sweet heat and subtle citrus undertone. The filling of cottage cheese with fragrant dill adds tenderness and freshness. Baking in foil preserves the fish's juiciness, making it incredibly soft. This dish pairs perfectly with a fresh salad and a glass of white wine, creating an atmosphere of a Mediterranean dinner filled with aromas and flavors of the coast.
