I’m always looking for ways to jazz up up the same old breast of chicken or fillet of salmon. Something to spice up what can be a boring old piece of protein. Well, this sauce sure will add some spice to your dinner plate.
Just a few simple ingredients come together to create the perfect complement to the sweet and salty salmon marinade. So what you’ve actually got here is another 2 for 1 deal. Think of it as an early Christmas or almost late Hannukah present. You’ve got the marinated and baked salmon AND the creamy sauce. Happy holidays indeed!
We’ve got a debate going on in my office – sauce or no sauce? Do you like to douce your food with whatever delicious condiments are available, or do you prefer to eat plain jane vegetables and rice? Well, I definitely fall on the saucy side of things and have been pouring this sauce over literally anything I can find.
Boring salmon no more! I think this sauce could convert anyone over to the saucy side.
