Notes

note 1 - in America I used Bumblebee brand pink salmon and easily found it in supermarkets. In Australia, John West do either a pink or red salmon. I've used both, and they are both great. I do believe pink salmon is cheaper, however!
note 2 - this is really hard to gauge in grams or ounces if it helps it's just slightly under a quarter of an onion.
note 3 - it doesn't make a difference if you use flat leaf or curly parsley!
