Whether smoked, gravlax or carpaccio, salmon remains a must for Sunday brunch. The opportunity to return to this fish adored by all.
With its different fatty acids including the famous omega 3, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and trace elements, salmon has many benefits. Part of the “oily fish” family like mackerel, sardines, tuna, trout, anchovies, or even smoked eel, salmon also has a strong satiating power. Fat that only wants us good! In any case, we remind you, human beings need to consume good quality fats such as salmon, avocado, seeds, cream, the key is to do it in a balanced whole. Even as part of a slimming diet, you never completely eliminate fat from your diet.
The right recipe
The star of brunch, we all agree, is smoked salmon. But it shares the spotlight with gravlax salmon – prepared with a dry brine with salt, sugar, or even dill – which is not then smoked. Salmon, simply cut into thin strips, is also an option that goes wonderfully with avocado and other Sunday brunch classics. If cooked salmon preparations are a possible option – we think in particular of pretty homemade salmon rillettes accompanied by grilled country bread – it is in its “cold cooking” version that it is all the rage at brunch time .
For a more than gourmet table, accompany it with a nice cream made from Greek yogurt, dill, pink berries and dill. For the bakery part, bagels remain a gourmet option that always appeals, but we also think of savory pancakes, or typical breads like Nordic bread.
