Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh salmon and avoid overcooking it to maintain its tenderness. Be sure to slice the vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking. If you prefer a richer flavor, you can substitute part of the water with fish stock. Adjust the seasoning to your taste and feel free to add more dill for an enhanced aroma.
