Made this last night. Lightly sweet, Garlicky, Bright with Cilantro, Allows the Salmon to shine through, just perfect. Green Beans and rice or potato completes the meal. Thank you for a light, quick and easy entree.
So glad you liked it! Green beans with rice or potatoes are so delicious as side dish!
