Pan fried Salmon with caramelized onions


Ever-versatile salmon is as popular on our shopping lists as chicken. Make the most of it with this impressive italian cuisine. I got this recipe idea from Australian weekly magazine and made a little tweak to suit our indian taste buds and tried this recipe. It became a big hit in my home :-)

My husband(Senthil) and inlaws loved the new taste of caramelized onions and celery along with the fish.This dish makes a healthy family supper which has Omega 3 fatty acids, folic acid, B6 and B12 vitamins.
