The season of Spring is upon us and at Sunset Foods, we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by firing up the grill!
Spring ushers in fresh produce – like beautiful, bright green bunches of vitamin-rich asparagus. Grilled or steamed, it’s the perfect spring side dish.
You know what goes great with asparagus? Alaskan Halibut. Its sweet, delicate flavor and firm, hearty texture make it a versatile choice for grilling, broiling or pan-frying. Or give this easy weeknight recipe a whirl:
