  • These sticky salmon fillets are so quick and easy to throw together after a busy day – they're on the table in 20 mins! The sweet and salty sauce is made with brown sugar which gives the salmon a sweet, golden crust as it caramelises. Better still, it's a great budget dinner at $5.50 per serve.
