In one rainy evening here in Canada, I wanted to make something cozy and comforting — creamy, garlicky, and full of warmth. The rich aroma of salmon, parmesan, and cream filled the kitchen. When my daughter saw the golden salmon resting in the sauce, she smiled and said, “It smells so good!” That’s when I knew — a simple dish can make a home feel full of love.
