I plan to try the recipe but just FYI it may be how completely the page is covered w pop ups ads and moving images but none of your buttons worked. Not “jump to recipe”, not PIN, not “save”. The page is literally locked up with all that’s going on on it. I’m ALL for you getting support and ad revenue for your content (fully support that!) but when the only thing that is functional on a page is scrolling, it might keep me from visiting again bc of the frustration! I do intend to try the recipe, your pictures are amazing, and I’ll lyk how the salmon turns out. Thank you!
Thanks for The article on air fryer salmon and looking forward to trying it.
