Mild salmon gravy



We save the essential omega 3 oil provided by salmon in this curry as the oil drips into the curry. This is a mild curry. We do not add any curry powder or chili powder. Salmon is a great source of omega-3 oil which is essential for heart health. It also reduces the blood level cholesterol.
