Welcome Back, Bloomers!

Today I have an AMAZING flavorful dish I wanted to share with you all. Now I know some of you may not eat salmon so I have great news for you, this meal can be created with shrimp or chicken. WOWZA!! Talk about a special surprise there. Lately I have been considering on starting a pescatarian diet again. A few years ago I went on this special diet for about 6 months and loved every moment of it. I have been getting a little sick of chicken and trying to venture out into other meals.

With that being said I know you will love this meal just as much as I did. Although pictured you will see a side, this blog is only for the recipe for the salmon as you can add whatever side you would like to this dish.
