Does cooking with seafood especially something like Salmon make you nervous? I’ll be honest I used to be wary of cooking with seafood, because I was afraid to overcook it, mess it up, or thought it was too big a task, want to know a secret it’s not all that scary after all.
Over the last year or so my favorite dishes to cook involve seafood especially this dish. Salmon has so many health benefits for you & it fills you with all of those good fats, the key is to making it tasty adding a little flavor & this honey lemon glaze does just that!
Another bonus is that it’s quick & easy did I say easy already well it is! Give it a try & serve it up with some asparagus (that’s my favorite side dish)!
