Leek and Salmon Stew

Hello my lovelies!

Today I want to share a recipe that I just tried a few days ago. It was so good, that I couldn’t wait sharing it with you guys: leek and salmon stew. It is a delicate dish which gives a wonderful taste to the salmon, very tender with so many vegetables!

My children, my testers, my critics, some of whom (I won’t mention any name!!) have a slight tendency to criticism or to “oh no! I don’t like that!”, so my children loved it and even asked for more!

This leek and salmon stew is an original way to cook salmon, or any other fish like cod which is a little less fat. Question of tastes… Or color! I think the orange/pink color of the salmon gives a nice touch to this meal. It doesn’t take the pleasure away… We do eat with our eyes first, don’t we?

You can serve this stew with rice or pastas, such as tagliatelle for instance, if you want a more generous plate. Still, there are enough vegetables in the recipe, you can have it as it is.

Cooking this dish is quite easy, it will be hard to fail it. If you ask me, you just found your next Sunday family lunch!

Let’s do this! The recipe, Chef !

    Bonjour Emmanuelle, j’adore cette recette et vais la refaire ce soir. Avez-vous une idée d’alternative pour les navets, quand je n’en trouve pas (pas de saison) ?
    Merci d’avance

      Bonsoir Lucile, très bonne idée ! Oui c’est possible, réchauffez-la à feu doux pour garder vos morceaux de poisson assez ferme. Belles fêtes !
