This one’s a hug in a bowl. Flaky salmon is simmered in a creamy, flavorful sauce with lemon and dill, then folded through al dente risoni for the ultimate comfort dish. Rich in omega-3s and packed with protein, it’s a nourishing way to support both brain health and mood while keeping things simple in just one pan.
