Spring gives us a craving for fresh and zesty foods as we emerge from winter with the desire to lighten up. Wayne "Mango Man" Pickering picks lemon and salmon to do the trick.

Lemon Salmon Dinner for Two

One-half cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
One-half pound fresh salmon
6 small yellow summer squash
1 medium size zucchini squash
Fresh basil leaves (10 of them finely chopped)
A dash of cayenne pepper
Fresh rosemary leaves (about 1 ounce of it chopped up)
4 ounces of freshly ground raw unsalted cashews

In a skillet on a medium heat, put one half cup of fresh lemon juice. Place the salmon in the skillet and put the fresh basil on the top of the salmon. Then place the squash in 1-inch slices around the salmon, topping the squash with the cayenne pepper and rosemary. Leave this on the medium heat for no longer 6-8 minutes max. When it's done sprinkle the freshly ground raw unsalted cashews all over it.
