ReplyDeleteMmmmmm...this sounds fabulous, Claudia! Salmon is one of the few fish that Bill will eat :)
ReplyDeleteThis salmon recipe is very unique and I have been craving some peaches lately-I wish they were in season. However, I am sure that frozen or canned will do until late summer for this dish! I do need to look at the other links, your variety will make it easier to have this healthy fish more often. Have a great day!
