Salmon with green sauce

 

Just another easy and tasty thirty minute meal for your family! We usually use salmon, but you can really use any fish for this meal. While the fish was cooking, I made the sauce, and then I stir-fried some veggies to go with the meal (carrots and fennel for us last night!). In the last […]
