The flavour of this dish is indescribable! Not only is it ready in 30-45 minutes, but it’s also an economical dish if you’re regularly fishing at the wonderful lakes across Canada. I chose salmon, because I have traditionally eaten this dish with salt-water fish, and the flavours of the salmon with the tomato sauce don’t disappoint!
Psari Plake
