Salmon is one of the fish species that contains a particularly high amount of omega-3 fatty acids. Researchers have found out that these fatty acids promote brain development in babies. But regular fish meals are also worthwhile in old age. Studies have shown that as little as 10 grams of fish a day demonstrably improves memory performance in senior citizens.

Alcohol may evaporate, but not always completely. All those who value strictly alcohol-free cooking should replace the wine for the brew with alcohol-free wine or vegetable stock or vegetable broth. No asparagus season at the moment? You can also serve other vegetables with the fish dish. Carrots, for example, can be prepared in the same way as asparagus and harmonise just as well with tarragon.
