Grilled Salmon with Cucumber Salad

This delicious Aussie meal is perfect for Fall...

Just because the season has changed doesn't mean we still can't enjoy eating something on the healthy side. I came across this recipe when I was browsing and Australian recipe website. At the time I had the ingredients on hand and thought what could it hurt to try something new. Boy was I right. This was a delicious meal. :

Add some new potatoes with these dishes to turn it into a meal-GTG

This is also a very inexpensive meal to prepare. Although the prep time is 24 hours for the marinade and and hour for the cucumber salad, it is a fairly simple meal. Let me know in the comment section how it turned out for you.

Happy Eating.
