After all of the delicious food and excitement over the holidays I wanted an easy meal I could throw together. When I think quick and easy I always think of seafood. Seafood is usually quick cooking and you can have dinner on the table in no time. It had been awhile since I have had so I decide to take a classic dish like chicken picatta and recreate it with salmon. The lemon and caper pair perfectly with the salmon. It’s light and fresh and perfect for a weeknight meal.
What was your favorite quick and easy meal? I’d love to hear about it in the comments below. 🙂
