I got this idea from my housekeeper’s daughter. She is a college student who is currently staying with us, because the schools are closed. She made this recipe in her dorm microwave, and it sounded interesting enough to modify to the oven, and with additional ingredients. Her original recipe was a tin of salmon with sliced onions… I think we can do better than that… So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
