Kimmy, I am thinking of stocking up on salmon. See how, if the price is OK then I will buy and try this recipe. It looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteHi Phong Hong, it's a great idea to stock up on salmon if the price is reasonable. Sometimes the variance is quite substantial. I usually get them when I find the price worthy. There are various ways to serve salmon and I find them good.
