Introduction

Recipe calls for frying the salmon with pan spray on a non-stick pan. I dont use non-stick so I used one tablespoon of grape seed oil.Using cooking spray would cut the calories down to 362 kcal per serving. I used Knorr low-sodium boullion powder to make the broth.
This recipe litteraly took less than 15 minutes! And its healthy and delicious.
