PRESENTATION

Salmon with apples really shows off what Italian home cooks can do when they mix sweet and savory flavors. This dish isn’t just about the salmon—for real—it’s about how those apple slices bring in a tender, juicy bite. Really good stuff. It makes everything feel pretty refined, even if you’re just having a casual dinner with friends. The real trick here is the spice mix sprinkled over the fish and apples before a quick trip to the oven. That short bake keeps the salmon with apples soft and moist, letting those spices open up in your kitchen. So here's the thing, what makes it different is the bed of bright red cabbage underneath. You get this awesome pop of color, a bit of crunch, and a dish that smells as good as it looks. And look, in some regions of Italy, folks like to switch up the type of apples or toss in a splash of white wine, but the basics stay the same—fruit and fish together, working in a way that just makes sense.

Serving up baked salmon with apples works especially well when you want something that feels a bit special without being fussy. This is the kind of salmon apple recipe you might see at a family dinner in northern Italy, but it’s found all over the country now, especially as more people look for lighter, health-aware meals. Pairing this with gluten-free pasta meatballs keeps things modern. And, pretty much, makes the whole plate feel balanced. People who enjoy other salmon and fruit recipes—like apple-glazed salmon or even salmon and apple salad—will find that the tangy apples and the moist fish go together in a way that’s kind of surprising. It’s the combo of colors, textures, and aromas that really really wins you over. Honestly, even if you’re just cooking for a couple of friends, this dish looks impressive, smells amazing, and gives you a little taste of Italian tradition without making a big fuss. The blend of flavors—sweet apples, herby spices, and tender salmon—turns an everyday meal into something that feels just a bit more special. Gluten-free options and bright ingredients make this a really good choice for any occasion. Cannot go wrong.

Preparation

How to prepare Salmon with apples

To prepare salmon with apples, start with the apples. Wash them, cut them in half 1, and use a small knife to remove the core 2. Then slice the apples into not too thin slices 3

and cut each slice into three triangles 4. Take your salmon fillets and lay the apples on top 5. Take another small bowl and add paprika and turmeric powder (a pinch of each will suffice) 6

a pinch of salt and mix everything with a teaspoon 7. Lay the salmon fillets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, slightly greased 8, and sprinkle with spices 9. Bake in a preheated static oven at 428°F for 20 minutes.

In the meantime, deal with the red cabbage: cut it finely 10, transfer it to a bowl and add the salt 11. Mix with a fork 12, wait 15-20 minutes,

then drain it from the liquid it will have released 13 and rinse it under running water 14; this step is to tenderize the cabbage. Transfer it again to a bowl and season with pepper and oil 15. It will not be necessary to add salt.

Remove the cooked and well-browned fillets 16; arrange a bed of red cabbage on a serving plate and place the fillets on top 17, decorate with mint leaves and serve immediately 18.

Storage

It is recommended to consume the salmon with apples as soon as it is prepared; alternatively, you can store it for a maximum of one day in the refrigerator.

Tip

If you don't like red cabbage, you can replace it with grilled vegetables. Instead of turmeric, add a pinch of cinnamon, or for an even fresher note after placing the apples on the salmon, add a grating of lemon zest.
