The Best Salmon Recipe Evah!

Australia is a country surrounded by water which makes them virtually experts on seafood dishes. The food industry out here is incredibly popular with shows like Master Chef and My Kitchen Rules as some of their highest rated.

I came across this great recipe by Curtis Stone and asked my roommate Gill (and chef extraordinaire) to recreate this dish and put her own personality in it. The results were incredible and I had to share this masterpiece with you.
