The other day we were at my sisters house and she served us this salmon. It was so creamy and moist. We sure did go for seconds and probably thirds, ate way more than we should have. In the end, my husband literally forced me to walk away with this recipe. Well, he can’t really force me, but nonetheless, he encouraged 🙂
