What easier way to while away the evening with this visually striking Summer Evening dish, that tastes pretty amazing too! Yet it's so quick and easy to make.
I'm having a hard time knowing which is better -the preparation, or the eating! Food isn't just about taste, but the looks and smell. The aroma from the preparation of this balsamico strawberry topping is just amazing. Grating the fresh lime gives bursts of sweet tangy fragrance that sets the tastebuds tickling. Then the corriander. On first glance you could hardly think so much aroma could come from simply chopping these delicate leaves, yet this powerful blend evokes memories of so many differently spiced dishes that use this great herb. From the Asian & Oriental to Indian & Mexican.
A first glimpse into the bowl sees a mix of vibrant red strawberries, alongside the striking green of the corriander and spring onion. A bold colour challenge to the eye, even before the tasting. Together with the rich sweetness of balsamic vinegar, these wonderfully fragrant strawberries come to life in a new and exciting way.
Wow your friends this strawberry season….

1. Begin by cleaning and preparing the salmon. Cut each fillet in half (horizontally) so that the fillet appears thinner. Place both pieces alongside each other (as one portion together) ready to receive the topping once baked.
