Sunday lunch or Sunday dinners have always held a special place in my heart. Growing up, Sundays meant waking up early for church, followed by a trip to the wet market with my mom.

I never expected my son to love salmon as much as he does, but now it’s a staple in our meals. Maybe it’s because it’s soft and easy to chew, or maybe it’s the way a good marinade brings out its flavor. Either way, he’ll happily eat it any way I make it but if …
Spring is finally here! The days are warmer, the sun shines a little longer, and everything feels fresh and new. This is the season of light, colorful meals—dishes that make the most of fresh vegetables, bright flavors, and easy cooking.
