Sauce Recipes

Cricket · Gucci

I made this last night w/ rice pilaf and baby veggies. I love the sauce (capers are the BEST) so much that I pour it over everything I prepare to go with the salmon. When I make this, I plan the rest of the menu on what will go with the sauce!!! The sauce can also be made alone w/ either chicken or veggie granules.

Alaskan Salmon Piccata

1/2 C water, 2 T. fresh lemon juice,1/8 t. chicken bouillon granules (I use Wylers over by the soups in the market), 2 4 oz. portions of salmon, 1 T butter, 2 T capers, pepper, parsley for garnish

Boil water and lemon juice. Add bouillon. Reduce heat, add salmon and cover. Simmer for 10 minutes. Take salmon out and keep warm. Bring liquid back to a boil. Boil until liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Remove from burner and whisk in butter. Stir in capers. Add pepper and parsley. Pour over salmon.

That sounds so good, thanks! That is exactly the type of recipe I was looking for.

Check out food network. Search by ingredient and then look for recipes that include a sauce and just make the sauce. Emeril is usually good for sauces and so is Giada de Larentius.

fresh salsa is good over grilled fish. I make fruit salsa with fresh pineapple or mango, jalapenos, onions, lime juice, salt, cilantro if you like it. Dice everything small and mix, season to taste, then let sit for 15-20 mins. Then just spoon over grilled fish (salmon is the best).

Also there is a great recipe for cream cheese sauce.

1/2 onion diced small, 1 tsp margarine or butter, 1/2 package of cream cheese (about 4 oz), 3 tbsp lemon juice or to taste, 1/2 tsp fresh dill, about 1/4 c. water, salt and pepper

saute onions in margarine until soft, add cream cheese and stir until melted, add some lemon juice and water. Puree in food proc or with hand blender. Adjust thickeness to desired consisitency with more water or lemon (I like alot of lemon). Season to taste with dill and salt & pepper.

Great over pan fried or poached sole. Also good with salmon.

Or Orange Tarragon sauce for salmon or heavier fish (snapper, tuna etc)

1 tbsp fresh orange juice, 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tsp chopped fresh tarragon, salt & pepper,

Combine ingredients. Simmer 3 minutes. Fish can be marinated in sauce, prior to simmering. Then remove fish and simmer.

I'm a big fan of pesto on top of salmon.

Toast a big handful of pine nuts and add to a food processor with a handful of basil, salt, and pepper, and some grated parmesean cheese. Add olive oil s-l-o-w-l-y as it blends in the food processor. Then pour it on top of the salmon. Yummmmmmmm.

Okay...I'm hungry now....
