Today on SASTV -- Asian Inspired Salmon Sliders with Wasabi Mayo

Tucked in one of the many cupboards in Sue-Ann's kitchen, there's an old green binder stuffed to the gills with recipes clipped from magazines and newspapers, and handwritten by relatives, friends and Sue-Ann herself. It's a fabulous repository and the source for today's slider.  

Anything but beef is a bit of a theme for the next few SASTV segments on Instagram, ("Where's the beef? I don't know!" Sue-Ann giggles) starting with these Asian Inspired Salmon Sliders with Wasabi Mayo.
