Salmon baked in cream and cheese with a delicate sauce is an exquisite dish of Russian cuisine that combines the rich flavor of red fish with the creamy texture of the sauce. The salmon is lightly fried and then simmered in cream with aromatic Gruyère cheese, gaining softness and richness. A special piquancy is added by a sauce made from sour cream, mayonnaise, soy sauce, and pickles, which complements the fish's tenderness with a light acidity and pleasant saltiness. This dish is perfect for a festive dinner or ceremonial lunch, impressing with its combination of simplicity in preparation and richness of flavor. The harmony of creaminess, saltiness, and slight spiciness makes it not only nutritious but also incredibly appetizing.
