Inspired by the famous Taiwanese shop, unironically named “Smart Fish 林聰明沙鍋魚頭”, this soup is an umami-packed, comforting dish that’s full of brain-loving ingredients like salmon, rich in omega-3 fatty acids to support cognitive health. With tofu and cabbage, this makes for such a wholesome meal ❤️

It’s the kind of soup you’ll sip on and wonder, “Can I have more?” 🤤
