(Sorry, even I cringed as I typed that)….
Crispy Skinned Salmon on Salad of Spinach, Blueberries and Pistachios
A couple of weeks back I was asked to put together a recipe for the team over at Shop Naturally. They have a beautiful website and an ethos that we can all aspire to, so of course I was going to say yes. Now, anyone that knows me knows that if I put together a recipe for you there are a couple of things you can be sure of. For starters, it’s going to be pretty simple.
