coriander-crusted salmon


This fish will rock your face off! It's super simple and has a ton of flavor. Serve on top of chickpea artichoke salad for a satisfying meal. My daughter loves this meal and said it was so good that she didn't even notice the red onions in the salad (she's 9).

  1. Combine the first 3 ingredients in a small bowl, set aside.
