Grilled Salmon
22 de diciembre de 2017, Perú ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Grilled salmon rubbed with spices before BBQing. Salmon is very rich and a smaller portion may have sufficed. Delicious anyway.

Viajero(Written by Mercina) My Opinion on the dinner served. Well, it was quite lovely, the steaks were nice and tender and the potatoes expertly grilled on the BBQ. The salad was fresh and delicious, nothing like any salad I've had before. The pineapple dessert was a revelation. As a fan of consuming some cool pineapple chunks in the evenings, this dessert was exciting and tasty. A great way to end the meal. Oh, and Poppy's cupcakes were good too I guess.
