Ingrediënten
Use fresh salmon and herbs for the best flavor.
Let the salmon marinate longer for deeper flavor; refrigerate for a few hours if possible.
Take your time caramelizing the onion—it adds richness and sweetness to the sauce.
Simmer the sauce until thickened to your liking.
Adjust the texture of your mashed potatoes by adding milk gradually.
Make sure your pan is hot before searing the salmon for a nice crust.
For a beautiful plate, serve the salmon alongside the mash and top with sauce.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
For a spicy twist, add cayenne or chili pepper.
You can also use firm white fish like cod, halibut, or tilapia as an alternative.
