Nico’s Mediterranean Grilled Salmon

Recipes

When my little guy was 5, he decided he had a “better” salmon recipe.  We sat down to a Sunday night dinner and he said to me, “Mommy, this is good but I think next time you should…” and he proceeded to give me the ingredients for the recipe, below.  Not bad for a little guy! This is now one of our family favorites and I hope it becomes one of yours, as well. 😊
