The salmon is tender, flakey and bright. The fresh herbs herbs were little pockets of salmony joy- chopped cilantro, freshly grated ginger, and green onions all working in harmony to make your dinner tasty. Plus, I made some really great honey mustard roasted potatoes to accompany our fish, so pretty much I felt like a food rockstar that night.
This meal is fast and easy- prep takes all of 5 minutes and the salmon cooks in just 6-8 minutes. All you do is cut 2 slits in a piece of salmon, and stuff it with fresh herbs. Then, as you grill the salmon you coat it with honey and soy sauce glaze. Voila! C'est trop simple. Oh, plus the left overs make a super amazing salad. If you have left overs. My kids even liked this fish.
