I read about this flavor combination on another blog I read from time to time. One of the readers submitted their recipe. I never actually read the recipe, but the flavor combination really stuck with me. I love salmon, so I had to try it.

It was a nice change from the salmon I usually make. The unique combination of flavors really made me slow down and take notice of what I was eating.

Admittedly, I had to add a little salt to really bring out the flavors. But it was quite tasty and I’ll be making it again in the future.

Munchkin Helpers:

If you have little ones, here’s how they can help (With close supervision, of course).

While this recipe may be a bit advanced for younger cooks, they can still help by adding the measured ingredients into the bowl. They love to check the salmon as it sits in the marinade!

Note: Nutritional Content not available for this recipe due to the unspecified amount of salmon.

Caution: Any time a child is in the kitchen, they will require close supervision. Munchkin Helpers suggestions should be applied with common sense to your own child, taking their own capabilities into account. Do not assume that because it says here that your child can do something, that they can, in fact do it. Please use common sense when in the kitchen with your child(ren).
