I can imagine how great you would be as the social chair David - quite a vibrant representative, in my mind!! I feel like I'm a broken record but sorry again for my absence. I still have no computer and it pains me to read blog posts on my iPhone screen (so limiting!). This salmon looks divine though. Perfectly succulent, healthy and delicious. It's Aaron's favourite protein and you've reminded me to cook it again soon :) Hope you and Mark are well my friend!

I did have it with swordfish and it worked perfectly but never tried it with salmon. <br />Then you come along and write about it and it just makes perfect sense to combine it with salmon: first of all, capers and salmon... do I need to add more? And then the vinegary tang cutting through the rich, oily salmon. Not to mention the color combination.

Salmon always feel special, but it's easy to serve and looks how quickly it cooks up. 15 minutes is perfect when entertaining.

Last summer I was making chimichurri with all kinds of meats. Love them because they are so fresh and add a lovely acidic element. <br />This one sounds perfect for the salmon.
