Why it works
- Celiac disease: Naturally gluten-free: salmon, olive oil, lemon, fresh herbs and capers, with no stock or thickeners in the sauce.
- Milk allergy: The sauce is built on olive oil and lemon instead of butter or cream, so it stays silky without any dairy.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
