I love salmon, I am always looking for new ways to make it , this is super easy so moist and delectable my mouth waters just thinking about it . But my absolute favorite recipe from Chef Kenneth is his blackened salmon and pasta alfredo I would have never thought to combine the two but incredible. I never knew that the skin side is the presentation side. Who knew !
