Salmon steak with lime and herbs
2 servings
20 minutes
Lime and herb salmon steak is a true embodiment of northern perfection. Norwegian cuisine is famous for its seafood, and this recipe conveys the harmony of freshness and sophistication. Salmon, tender and juicy, takes on the exquisite aroma of fresh herbs – rosemary, mint, and thyme that highlight its natural oily texture. Lime adds citrus brightness while grainy mustard gives a subtle spiciness. Baked in the oven with soy sauce and olive oil, the fish becomes remarkably tender while retaining all its rich flavor. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or festive gathering where one wants to fully enjoy the refined taste of northern seafood.
