ABOUT GRILLED SALMON WITH SAFFRON SAUCE RECIPE

This was an amazing dish that we had recently in a restaurant. I loved the taste of the saffron sauce that was served as a topping and there was exotic black rice for accompaniment along with some veggies. I have replicated it and am quite happy with the result. In fact hubby dear liked my dish better than the restaurant one.
