Grilled Garlic and Ginger Salmon with Summer Green Salad
A delicate and light salmon recipe for the warmer months. The salad may look simple, but it is delicious and a great base for any salad recipe. Why not break the salmon up and dice some mango to add to the salad for a variation on this recipe?
Recipe Tester Feedback: “I really liked the garlic and ginger marinade. I thought at first that the salad dressing was too sweet, but when paired with the salmon it was a perfect match. Great for a relaxing Sunday lunch or a midweek dinner." - Nerine
