Salmon is a great meat to integrate into your regular diet, but eating it on its own can get old really fast! That’s why you should invite some more ingredients to the party. The tender meat of the salmon works perfectly with a nice pesto crust; and with a not-so-classic veggie rice on the side, you’ll have one of the crunchiest meals ever!
