Share Recipe Favourite Download PDF [cd_bring_button]This is a recipe I’ve been making for years. The original recipe came from Bill Granger, who I love! I’ve made a few little changes to it. It’s so delicate, but still satisfying.I don’t even really like salmon very much, but could eat bowls of this dish. It’s amazing!
