Parmesan Crusted Salmon

 When I was a kid I used to love salmon, we would have it grilled quite often. However after two bad experiences of getting sick I stopped eating it all together. It wasn’t until years later that a boyfriend finally convinced me to give it a try again. He baked the fish this time, a method I hasn’t tried before. I was hesitant at first, but after the first bite I was sold. The salmon was a bit plain on its own, so I set about searching for recipes to spruce it up. When I came across a recipe with cheese I knew I needed to try it. I was not disappointed in the least. This is a perfect main dish to pair with more dominating side dish. I am forever grateful to Fountain Avenue Kitchen for this recipe and my reintroduction to a love of salmon.
