This recipe features salmon and spring vegetables and flavors that all compliment each other. This light alternative to heavy pasta is perfect for the warming weather!
My family and I used to take big shopping trips to Houston once a year and we would eat at the same restaurant every time. This was my absolute favorite dish to get and when they took it off the menu I was devastated! I decided to try and recreate it and make a healthier version to share with you! It tastes the exact same!!! I hope you all enjoy as much as did for many years!
