Blueberry Salmon
I continuously look for ways to spruce up recipes. Fish is not always a favourite with a lot of kids, but this recipe offers a sweet, fruity sauce to entice everyone. My Blueberry Salmon is a show stopper and is great for family or entertaining. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Kids love sauces, especially ones with fruit. Make a little extra of this sauce for dipping. Maple Syrup is a good additive because it masks the strong flavour of some fish. You can be creative. Make your own dipping sauce using plum sauce, salsa, yogurts, nacho cheese etc. You write the recipe. And remember, fish should never smell fishy. If it smells, it is bad.
I have a chocolate salmon recipe on my blog https://recipesatmytable.com/chocolate-teriyaki-salmon/
Like every other species on earth, Salmon is threatened by our environmental habits. Although they are not an endangered species, some rivers are seeing more pollution harming the Salmon population.
