Salmon with vegetables is a refined dish of Russian cuisine that combines tender salmon fillet with aromatic vegetables and spicy herbs. It resembles traditional Russian baked dishes but has a modern emphasis on lightness and healthiness. The fish retains its juiciness by being baked under a vegetable layer, while creamy sour cream adds softness to the flavor. Sweet peppers, zucchini, and carrots provide brightness and freshness, while cheese baked to a golden crust completes the composition. This dish is perfect for a festive dinner or a cozy family lunch.

You can use khmeli-suneli and oregano as spices. If the zucchini has a lot of liquid, it should be squeezed before frying. If the salmon is overcooked, there's no need to squeeze the zucchini and you can add 2 tomatoes.
