Rosemary Pecan Sauce #recipe by Linda Wiken, author

This really should be called, "the sauce that wasn't". I found it in the newest issue of the Food & Drink magazine from the liquor board. It's a fabulous quarterly production that features, as well as alcohol, some truly tasty recipes. Everyone waits eagerly for each new magazine and they're snapped up quickly.

Anyway, I had this tempting piece of wild Sockeye Salmon. I just love the intense color and flavor, but wanted to try something new in the way of a sauce to go with it. That's when I found a recipe for Tarragon Walnut Sauce in Food & Drink. You can guess what happened next. I didn't have many of the ingredients on hand so what to do -- improvise!

My name for the revised recipe is thus, Rosemary Pecan Sauce. And, it tastes just as delicious! It's also very easy to whip up at the last minute. Oh, and I substituted cilantro for parsley. Hope you'll give it a try.


What you'll need:

1/3 c. virgin olive oil
1/2 c. pecan pieces
3/4 c. firmly packed cilantro
3 tbsp. fresh chopped rosemary
4 tsp. lemon juice
1 close garlic
2 tsp. honey
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

What to do:

Place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until it's thoroughly mixed. It should resemble pesto.  That's it! And, don't forget the salmon. I did mine on the BBQ.

(This can be made a day in advance. Just keep it covered in the fridge but serve at room temperature.)
