This has to be for sure one of the best salmon recipes I've ever had! I've been waiting to try it for a while and I'm so glad I did because it was absolutely delicious. Bob Ross says that in painting there are no mistakes, just happy accidents! I think the same is true about cooking. It was my first time trying to make fresh pesto sauce and I accidentally added too much parmesan cheese, but it turned out being the best accident because it added such a unique flavor to the mix and we absolutely loved it! 😄 I'd like to hear about some of your "happy accidents" in the kitchen ❤ so tag a friend and share your happy accidents in the comments section 😊⬇️
