In honor of my collaboration with Wild for Salmon - a wild caught, delivered to your door seafood company ..Here is a recipe I discovered while on a visit as a special guest of the President of Hassler Hotel in Rome Italy Roberto Wirth. It was a dish I thoroughly enjoyed and I tweaked the recipe a bit here..
I will soon be releasing 3 special recipes and videos developed especially for the Wild Caught Sockeye Salmon from Wild for Salmon, but if you would like to try their seafood out and taste the difference their wild caught salmon make in a recipe, you can now get 15% off your order by using the code CHEFMARIA15 when you place your order at WildForSalmon.com
