SALMON WITH POTATOES NATUR

Have you heard of White Week?
For Orthodox Christians it is seen as a time of purification and reflection leading up to Easter. It involves abstaining from meat and focusing on white foods like eggs, milk, cheese, and fish, symbolizing purity and light.
In this context I come here with a recommendation for a delicious and also healthy dinner – salmon with potatoes.
As the local fish market is somehow limited, Moldovan women have adopted recipes that include not only local sweet-water fish as carp, zander and silver carp, but imported fish as well. My mother, for instance, has a simple but very tasty salmon recipe.
The secret of this recipe is the sour cream sauce in which salmon is baked. It is extremely tasty when served with potatoes natur.
