Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Sole with Chimichurri Tagliolini Apart from Norwegian salmon, Kingklip and fish from a tin, I do not prepare a large variety of fish at home. In addition to this, my husband is of the salmon sashimi, prawns and lobster only mentality when it comes to his seafood favourite-favourites. Imagine my utter delight, when I [...]
