Honey Ginger Salmon with Green Bean Pilaf

Salmon is delicious prepared in a variety of ways. This month I opted for baking it in the oven wrapped in foil. This method is very quick to prepare for busy weeknights or in the weekend. If you’d rather grill it, by all means do so! Green bean pilaf is a fresh, in season compliment, seasoned only with garlic powder, salt, pepper and sprinkled with coconut aminos, YUM! Great Frogs Vintners White, Chilled of course, is excellent pairing with this entree.
