I’ve been teaching myself to cook for over 10 years now and I’m still somehow intimidated by fish. Why does it feel so scary? It’s actually quite simple and quicker than most other meats, so it’s a real win-win. And today it’s all about salmon! We have salmon at our house at all time so I’m always looking for new ways to cook it up so it doesn’t just taste like the same salmon day after day. Well this salmon is seared in the pan to get a light crispiness on top then it’s finished with a bit of sweetness. And the sweetness has some garlic in it so you get that delicious rich flavor. It’s just lovely, ok? And it’s not boring. Oh wait, AND it only takes 10 minutes. Swoon.
Speaking of swooning, I’m currently back home, back with my favorite puppy dog, and back to cooking our meals. It’s fun to go to restaurants when you’re traveling, but there is nothing like cooking for yourself and feeling great afterwards. It’s the best! After being in Hawaii for a week, my body was READY to get back home…especially after eating some slightly sketchy chicken at the airport and dealing with the repercussions the next day. Travel is great, but a happy tummy and a happy puppy is better. Jackson has not left my side since I got back and I plan to not leave his. We even head back up to CSU tomorrow for another 6-week check-up. Since we almost lost him in 2020, we see the vet every 6-12 weeks to check his blood pressure, blood, and urine; just to make sure everything is functioning properly. And based on the linear progression at each appointment, this should be another good one! And since Jackson could care less about walking these days, car rides are his excitement. Tomorrow is going to be a good day, I can feel it. Now go make this salmon in 10 minutes and let me know what you think!

This was so easy and so good!! My husband doesn’t love sweet flavors in food so I didn’t think he would love it but he said he wants to add this recipe to our dinner lineup. Thanks!
Do you remove the salmon from
The pan before adding the sauce, or does the salmon cook in the sauce?? Thank you!!
