I really do love to eat fish and a favourite fish to eat is yummy and healthy salmon. Yummy salmon is always so easy to purchase to prepare and to eat. I do like salmon with a delicious coating and crust. Salmon and asparagus go so well together and are so tasty.

Super easy recipe and looks very appetising. Like pesto and salmon but never combined the two.

Sounds delicious and the nuts would give it a great crunch too!

  I absolutely love to pair salmon with green vegetables and there are so many healthy and delicious choices to choose from with green vegetables. Fresh green beans and crisp broccolini is always so good to eat with salmon. Also; fresh, small and steamed baby potatoes with knobs of butter are also so delicious to eat with salmon.
