Nutritional values

The gentle steaming saves fat, preserves the aroma and makes the salmon nice and juicy. In addition to the vascular-friendly omega-3 fatty acids, the fine fish brings the daily requirement of several vitamins of the B group onto the plate and is thus good for the entire organism.

The purchase of a steaming unit is definitely worthwhile! If you don't have one (yet), you can use a strainer - it is important that it does not touch the water in the pot.
