What is Salmon in a Hammock? Well in this recipe I’m going to show you exactly how to make this dish with the funny name. But to make this dish you are going to need some other pre-made recipes that we have here on good.cooking. You will need both pesto and hummus. Also, try to get your hands on some pearl potatoes. These are worth the extra effort.
Salmon in a hammock is a great dish to make for many people and if you are having a party this could be a great option for you. But if you are going to make this for several people I would advise you to work a bit systematically. Make sure that you have everything ready and within range before you start plating this dish.
