Fried Salmon with Tomato Cabbage Soup

Hello! September has been a really hectic month as many assignment submissions are due in this month itself. Besides, it is also a month where many of my friends and relatives have their birthdays on. Hence, being a student who always struggles from limited money or allowances, it really is quite challenging to fork out so much money to buy presents or treating them out for a meal. Because, once spent, it means that we will only be left with that limited amount of money for the rest of the month (lol).

It’s okay friends, I totally understand your concern. Hence, in this post, I would like to share with all of you a recipe – Fried Salmon which I am sure all of you will love.

Besides, they add good nutrients to the meal as well, where they can provide fibers and vitamins that are needed for our daily consumption.
