He is the creator of the brand around the salmonDidier Trentacosta, who reveals this information in the columns of Current Women: “Lemon should be banned, because it will cook the salmon and that will break its taste. The salmon has already been cooked by smoking, there is no point in recooking it”. However, he gives a tasting tip, adding a little pepper to enhance the taste of the salmon would be a good idea.
