Cedar Plank Salmon with Fire-roasted Red Pepper Saffron Sauce
Made this tonight:
we ended up getting some fresh Wild-Caught Coho Salmon from Alaska today at one of our local stores.
So I did a Cedar Plank Salmon served on top of Jasmine-mint Rice with Fire-roasted Red Pepper Saffron Sauce – I put some lightly-grilled Garlic bread on the side which made for great a great “mop” of the sauce.
I realize that fresh mint isn’t a typical ingredient associated with Salmon but it really helped bring a nice freshness to the flavor of the entire dish – it almost acted like a palette cleanser as well.
So bright colors! Your sauce looks just amazing. It would be a complete visual hit if you replace toast with grilled lemon slice and top Coho piece with whole mint sprig instead of drop of sauce - IMHO, it hides beautiful color of crust, well contrasting with bed of rice over a layer of sauce.
Absolutely award winning! And salivating!
I got 2 Sockeyes last week and "spent" them mostly on gravlax, ceviche and tartar. Now I see what I missed...
In the future I would recommend uploading this to photo gallery and then linking to it from your post. This way it helps us build up our photo gallery.
