Baked salmon with spinach

Salmon is rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids , which are essential for the proper functioning of our body.

Polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids not only support physiological processes, have anti-inflammatory effects, but also strengthen natural immunity.

Salmon is a very juicy fish on its own, but when covered with spinach and almonds, it takes on new flavors. The dish is great basmati rice . Its extremely aromatic, nutty smell can be felt already during cooking. Long grains do not stick together, so after cooking they retain their natural looseness. Basmati is also considered the noblest variety of rice in the world.
