MY POACHED SALMON IN RASPBERRY-POMEGRANATE TEA and SMOKED PAPRIKA, over a bed of PAN ROASTED VEGGIES and SWEET POTATO SIDES!

So, every now and then I come up with a crazy idea for a recipe. Since I make salmon weekly, one needs to think about non-traditional ways to cook it. This time my inspiration came from one of my afternoons cup-a-tea. I added other herbs and spices and boom, my new salmon meal was born.
