It is also flavoursome, widely available, and very easy to cook! This salmon recipe takes the delicious flavours of citrus and honey for a dish that will no doubt become a staple in your recipe repertoire. As Rebecca Forwood, Founder of The Fishwives says: “It’s so easy, so delicious and so good for you!”.
