Salmon and Tomato/Olive Salsa with Lemon Cream

Sorry for the long delay in sharing savory, yummy, crazy delicious recipes. We’ve been a bit busy with a house remodel, raising twin silver labs that are now a year old, and busy with our real jobs.

With all the craziness, sometimes one needs a new recipe to bring sanity and normality. Crazy, I know. But for me, it works. And this was the recipe that did it. Thanks Bon Appétit for the inspiration.
