What is Salmon with carrot?
Salmon with carrot pairs salmon with carrots, usually baked, pan-cooked or steamed together. It is a simple combination rather than a dish tied to one particular region, and the vegetables can be cut into slices or batons and seasoned with herbs and lemon.
The salmon’s rich, tender texture contrasts with the carrots’ gentle sweetness. In English-speaking homes, it works as an easy main meal with salad, potatoes or grains; it can also be served with lemon and greens for a lighter plate.
