Salmon is just undeniably one of those excellent sources of protein, professes Nina Timm, editor of the online phenomenon, My Easy Cooking.
If you are looking for a lip-smacking recipe for the braai this weekend, why not make the World Gourmand-winning cookbook author’s “Best BBQ Salmon” recipe?
Timm admits that it took a some trial and error to perfect the recipe. Now it is utterly delicious, simple, and do-able for any Tom, Dick or Harry around the braai.
If you like grilled fish, like snoek or cob, you will love this one more. It is packed with so much flavour and salmon is so good for you.
