Hubby and I both love salmon but I had fallen into a rut when it came to cooking it. I would spread teriyaki sauce on top and bake it. Quick, easy and we always enjoyed it. But one day I came upon this recipe on Skinnytaste and decided to try it. The prep didn't take very long and yielded delicious results. We've now made it several times and have enjoyed it each time. Our grocery store didn't have any Fresno chilies so I left it out. The dish did not suffer in any way. I served it with basmati rice to soak up some of the delicious sauce. Note: I reduced the recipe by half for the two of us.)
Salt and pepper to taste
4 6-ounce skin-on salmon fillets
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 small onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced

I'm intrigued. I wouldn't have thought to combine salmon with a strongly flavored sauce. It has such a distinct flavor of it's own, after all. I'd be more inclined to go with a more neutral white fleshed fish like cod.
ReplyDeleteSince salmon is a big favorite here, I guess I need to try this and see.
Using cod sounds like a good idea. I'll try that next!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for some new recipes for my almost-full bottle of curry powder. Looking forward to getting some salmon to try it out. Thanks for sharing!
