how to serve Easy Creamy Salmon Stew

Serve hot in bowls. Add a slice of crusty bread or a small green salad. A squeeze of lemon on top brightens the taste. Garnish with extra dill or chopped parsley if you like.

how to store Easy Creamy Salmon Stew

Cool the stew before storing. Put it in an airtight container. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on low heat so the cream does not split. Do not freeze cream stew for best texture, but you can freeze without cream and add fresh cream when you reheat.

• Stir in peas or corn at the end for more color and sweetness.
