Salmon, spinach and parmesan cheese; this dish couldn’t get any better I swear…
I had a wonderful week and having a lovely weekend too. I’d been waiting for my convocation since 9 months and finally it happened on last Thursday. It was such a proud and overwhelming moment. I had so much fun with my dear friends who took time to be a part of my graduation. I felt so blessed and my heart was full of gratitude. Well, it’s all over and has become a sweet memory now. Yesterday was a dream, tomorrow is an illusion, the only reality is the present moment…live in the moment!
I had made this parmesan spinach salmon last week, it was a dinner that I quick fixed and turned out to be one of the best dishes. Pan fried the salmon and combined it with spinach, finished it off with parmesan cheese. Serving this with pasta was in my mind, however I combined this with store bought gnocchi. It was one yummy dinner, I wouldn’t mind making this over and over.
