So let’s be real, this summer has been a wash. With social distancing, there are no big backyard barbecues and everyone is staying mostly indoors. But that does not mean COVID-19 can ruin our summer menus!
This sweet, savory, summer recipe features asian style salmon with grilled pineapples! The flavor combination is perfect and it is a very simple and easy recipe.
Throw these bad boys on the grill or use a grill pan if you do not have access to a grill.
