Honey Ginger Glazed Salmon
Thanks to my big bag of Sam’s Club frozen salmon, I’ve cooked a fair amount of salmon. It also happens to be my favorite fish! After I cooked this recipe the first time, The Boy proclaimed it to be one of his favorites out of all the quick dinner meals I cook during the week. That was a big step. Usually all I get outta him is “Thanks boo, that was good.” I enjoy feedback! I definitely recommend this recipe. It was tasty! I will mention, I didn’t make the arugula salad that goes with it. But I make the dressing and put it over whatever salad green I have on hand. Usually romaine.
