Author Notes
I've fallen in love with the layering of this recipe years ago, not knowing what to do with so much fresh salmon given to me by my Norwegian friend. Then, inspired by brazilian cooking, I love this one pot meal and the flexibility of this dish. Depending on what I have at the house I'll throw it all in and let it braise for awhile as I'm working. Also a great leftover to freeze for a busy day. —FrancesRen
