⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute salmon with raw fish due to parasite risk. Avoid replacing sweet potato with white potato (contains solanine). Do not use onion, garlic, or chives as substitutes for parsley. Fish oil dosage must not exceed recommended amount as excess can cause vitamin E deficiency and blood clotting issues.
