Salmon is a favourite in our house. We eat it often, at least once every 2 weeks minimum and this particular recipe is one of our favourites! Part of the reason is it is so dang delicious – I mean, how can you go wrong with with delicious herby buttery flavours? You can’t! The other reason I love this recipe is because of its simplicity and speedy cook time! Heck yes to a quick dinner recipe!
