Notes
Sockeye Salmon with Ginger Fennel Sauce
What a lovely salmon recipe, I love fennel and wish more people placed it in various recipes, the flavor is to die for.
Heidy, I agree completely. The more that I incorporate fennel into my recipes, the more I want to use it with other dishes. Thanks so much for dropping by!
Thanks so much Beeta. It’s easy to forget how much flavor and good pairing can be done with ordinary and seasonal produce and herbs. Sometimes, it’s all about thinking (or in this case, tasting) outside of the box. We love hearing from you and certainly appreciate you stopping by; thanks so much!
What a great recipe, Dan! Simple but flavorful. Ginger and fennel, paired with the salmon…wow! I’m always trying to eat more fish in my diet, and it can get easy to stick to the recipes I know. I love that you changed it up with this one without it being complicated or too fussy. Gorgeous, gorgeous salmon!
