This is one of those recipes that had all ingredients that I love, but I wasn’t sure I would love them served together. The cookbook assured that “the pan juices are so delicious that you won’t want to waste a spoonful”, so I figured it was worth a try.

And I am so glad that I did!

The sweetness of the coconut, which got slightly toasted, brought out the flavor of the salmon and the creamy spinach added just the perfect dash of richness.

Recipe from The Dinner Doctor by Anne Byrn

Kitten Pyramid released their debut album “Uh-Oh!” in April. It’s a concept album packed with an eclectic mix of tunes from truly epic to the more sedate.

Along the epic line comes ‘Whale’.

There is something so satisfying in listening to ‘Whale’ cranked up really loud. Perfect for a little shouting and head banging.

Check out Kitten Pyramid on Facebook and Bandcamp, where you can buy their music.

Cheers!
