I had the hardest time coming up with a name for this latest creation! I was all over the map with descriptors, when finally it came to me – it’s basically just Salmon in sauce, so I called it Saucy Salmon! I know…….not too creative but it will do!
I’ve mentioned before that I struggle with Salmon! I want to eat it because of the healthy punch of Omega 3 it delivers, but I have to camouflage it due to the strong flavor compared to many other fish varieties. I typically camouflage Salmon with a sweet sauce (see Apricot Glazed Salmon for another Salmon recipe! https://mysavorykitchen.com/?s=salmon), but this time I went the savory route. Saucy Salmon blends delicious sauteed garlic, chicken broth, and tomato paste with non-dairy milk to create a rich and creamy garlicky sauce.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
