Lavender Salmon Provencal

By


Enjoy the flavors of the Provence hill country without the travel hassles. This dish is best made in mid summer when all the ingredients can be found fresh. I use King/Chinook or Sockeye salmon, but you can substitute silver or Atlantic if those are your only choices.
