FODMAP Notes
Uses only the green parts of scallions (the white bulb is high FODMAP). Garlic-infused oil provides garlic flavor safely. Smoked salmon and capers are naturally low FODMAP. Use lactose-free cream or unsweetened almond milk.
Tips
- 💡 Use hot-smoked salmon for a more intense flavor
- 💡 Add a splash of white wine with the cream for extra depth
- 💡 Top with extra fresh dill before serving
- 💡 Works great with gluten-free penne or fusilli too
