Times Supermarkets Director of Kitchen Operations / Corporate Executive Chef Matt Holmes creates a mouth watering East meets West salmon dish using fresh ingredients found right in Times Supermarkets!

Notes

Feel free to experiment with any type of fresh fish or other kinds of mushrooms with this recipe. Definitely rice is a perfect match for this dish, but if you feel the carbs might be too much, try some whole wheat pasta, the flavors and the tapenade will go perfectly with the fish and bok choy. Find these ingredients, and enjoy this recipe with a chilled glass of Chardonnay, Reisling or Sauvignon Blanc found at your nearest Times Supermarket! Shoots Den!
