BBQ Salted Salmon

おうちで簡単バーベキュー塩鮭

Pingu recently discovered this awesome blog called Just Bento, tried the salted salmon recipe and barbequed it in the backyard. Delish!

BTW, when Pingu first told me about Just Bento, I was like, "Oh no, one of those again?" I mean, I've seen way too many recipe blogs by Japanese women... and yes, YOU are, in fact, looking at one right now too, but seriously, Just Bento is really different, and I highly recommend it.

まきさん、ありがとう！この塩鮭我が家の定番になりそうです。(^_^)
