If you’re looking for an easy and healthy recipe for lunch or dinner, I suggest you to try this salmon quiche. With a fresh and smoky taste, this quiche will be perfect with an arugula salad dressed with extra virgin olive oil, a few drops of lime and salt. This crowd pleasing recipe is simply delicious provided you don’t overcook the quiche so salmon stays moist.
