Now I’ve heard of pineapple on pizza but never with salmon. The other day I decided to try a salmon and pineapple salad. I had a pineapple sitting on the island in our kitchen that needed eating. I had also taken a piece of salmon out of the freezer. It was then that I had the idea to throw the two together in a salad. I have to be honest even I wasn’t sure of this dish but personally I think the pineapple added a lot of flavour to the salmon and I’m sure I will be eating this again soon. I hope you will too. Below is a video and recipe for you.
