5K

Well .. I love poached salmon, as I have written earlier
Poached salmon tastes amazing & it is so tender & soft – You really have to do an effort, to ruin poached salmon & make it dry.

This dish is really fresh.
The salmon is served with small cooked baby potatoes and a healthy & simple salad with apple, avocado & mango ♥

Some information, about the ingredients in this dish:

Salmon

Salmon is healthy … You just need to buy the right kind of salmon.
As I understand it, then you should stay away from Norwegian salon:
it is bred & the salmon is stuffed with antibiotics, colourants etc. (Then it’s not that healthy to eat salmon anyway, hah?)
It is so disgusting, to think about, that it is legal for companies & breeders to fill you with all of that sh*t! 🙁

As I understand it, you should try to buy wild salmon, faraoe salon (That is bred to, but they have much stricter rules about, what to give the fish) or greenlandic salmon.

I have searched in my supermarkets.
And There is only one solution for me, if I want ex. smoked salmon, that is not bad for my body.
It is: ‘Sockeye wild salmon from Alaska’.
