    Salmon recipe

     Who loves salmon? I know I do! Especially savory salmon with a great tasting rhubarb sauce. 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 sauce which actually tastes so amazing combined with fish. Rhubarb and salmon is a match made in heaven. It's seriously good! Did I mention that this salmon recipe is super easy?

    Salmon recipe

    I tested this salmon 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 fish sauce into a medium saucepan over medium heat.

    Salmon recipe

    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 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 for salmon into the blender.  Easy peasy.  I'm really starting to love rhubarb.  I'm already thinking about making more savory rhubarb recipes.Salmon recipe

    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.

    HOW TO COOK SALMON AND MAKE THE RHUBARB SAUCE 

    Cooking with rhubarb and so simple and paired with salmon is omg delicious!

    1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
    2. Slice the fish into 6-7 salmon fillets (depending on the size of your salmon you may get more slices or less).
    3. Add a bit of grapeseed oil or vegetable oil over each salmon. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
    4. To make the rhubarb sauce, chop up the rhubarb, ginger, and onion.
    5. Add all the sauce ingredients, plus the rhubarb, ginger, and onions into the blender.
    6. Pour the sauce into a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until it boiling then let it simmer for about 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
    7. Add spoonful or two of sauce on top of each salmon.  Place the salmon in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Add more sauce if you like Serve with jasmine rice.

      This has become this years favorite salmon recipe! I always freeze rhubarb (from the yard) and I’ll be able to make this during the winter.

      I love sweet savory dishes, salmon and asparagus. This seems like the perfect combination to me. Although I am trying to follow a mostly plant based diet, I still like to eat fish sometimes 🙂

      I love salmon and this recipe with a sweet rhubarb and sweet chili sounds delicious. I don't get to eat it as much because my husband isn't a big fish fan. I love it and will share this with my neighbor for girls' night.
