This is a crowd pleasing recipe that’s perfect for those dark days of winter when you are looking for a bit of sunshine on your plate. Bright and herby salmon pairs well with the earthy turmeric flavour. I love having this dish mid week with a large green salad or some cooked quinoa on the side. This recipe is a great framework for cooking lots of types of fish, feel free to try with trout, cod or haddock. Pay attention to cooking times because they may differ for different varieties.
