This was great!!!! My son loves salmon but I was worried about the herb mixture on top. He ate half of my salmon too!!! I especially loved the arugula salsa verde!! we ate it with garlic and olive oil spaghetti with the salsa verde mixed together. Perfect combination!!!! I should have made more :)
Amazing! Thank you üòç
