This dish is a winner! If you are a salmon fan, alfredo fan or both, this dish is calling your name! Since I started cooking, I have been obsessed with cooking salmon and finding the fullproof method of fish cookery. This method is similar to cooking the perfect steak, just hitting it with lemon afterwards. The alfredo sauce is so easy to make, you’ll never want to buy another jar from the store. Get those pans ready and let’s go!
