Notes

LISA’S TIP – This salmon is the perfect family meal with all the flavour and none of the fuss. It’s delicious served with a side dish of harissa cauliflower rice, or I like to serve mine in lettuce wraps if served room temperature, if you have leftovers the salmon taste’s delicious the next day flaked into a salad for a simple quick meal.
