In addition to the deeply rooted religious tradition in our country, this time is a good opportunity to eat better and enjoy seasonal products to cleanse the body. Today we present our top 5: Lent dishes for you to enjoy. Salmon Burger This is a recipe for the whole family that shows that changing your diet for Lent can also be fun. This delicious burger includes pickles, Dijon mustard, and capers, giving it a tangy flavor that complements the sweet and tender salmon well.

It consists of bolillo, piloncillo, cinnamon, nuts, raisins, peanuts, coconut, and other ingredients with intense aroma and flavor.
