 Who loves salmon? I know I do! Especially savory salmon with a great tasting glaze. I could eat salmon every day! It’s one of my favorite fish, well that and whiting fish. Both are just so good!

In my last post, I mentioned that I had leftover rhubarb which I needed to use up. Well, I ended up turning the rhubarb into a sweet tangy and a tad bit spicy glaze which actually tastes so amazing combined with salmon. Rhubarb and salmon is a match made in heaven. It’s seriously good! Did I mention that this recipe is super easy?

I tested this recipe a couple times. The first time I threw the minced garlic, ginger, chopped onions and the other sauce ingredients into my blender then placed the sauce into a medium saucepan over medium heat.

The second time, I cooked the garlic, ginger, onions then added the other sauce ingredients to the pan. Once the salmon sauce was done cooking, I let it cool off some then poured it into my blender and mixed it until smooth.

Both ways tasted the same. I really didn’t notice a difference. With that said, I know next time to keep it simple and just throw all the sauce ingredients in the blender.  Easy peasy.  I’m really starting to love rhubarb.  I’m already thinking of other ways to use it as I write up this post.

Don’t let the rhubarb intimidate you. I’m a newbie rhubarb cook. The first time I saw rhubarb I thought it looked like a large red celery and it smelled a little strange. I’m so glad I tried it because this recipe is one of my favorite ways to make salmon in the spring and summer.
