This is a Russian dumpling, pelmeni. This was my first Russian dumpling and it was fantastic. The dumpling wrapper was thin but wrapped perfectly around the plump filling of salmon. The filling was plump and had a perfect texture as it wasn’t overcooked and dry or raw. The dumpling was topped with a sour cream sauce and salmon roe on top. The sauce provided a good creamy texture and the few roes on top of the dumpling provided the salty flavor the whole package needed. A lovely salad accompanied the dumplings, and the whole dish was very good.
Interesting. I didn’t know Russians made pelmeni with salmon. Where did you have it?
