I grilled salmon steaks on my George Foreman grill and just followed the rhubarb sauce part of this recipe, minus the lemon juice. The taste of the salmon and rhubarb together is AMAZING!!! It was easy too. I added a little water (about 1/4 cup) and actually boiled it till it fell apart due to shortage of time. It was delicious.

I'm always on the look out for good salmon recipes. This is one of those. I love the tart rhubarb flavor combined with the salmon. I halved the rhubarb recipe and served it with two filets which I roasted at 550 F. I added the lemon while cooking, and served lemon slices on the side. It is truly a delicious recipe, thanks for posting!

I like the flavors of the rhubarb with the salmon. I skipped the lemon juice and served the rhubarb on the side. Thanks for posting!

I quite liked this recipe....it was definately different! I sprinkled the salmon with some lemon pepper and grilled the salmon to prefection. I felt that there was way too much sauce, so next time I will cut the rhubarb recipe in half. Instead of sugar, I used Splenda....the lemon was a nice addition! My SIL would have prefered it without, my husband and I enjoyed it, but with the sauce on the side as a condiment. If you enjoy fruit with your meat/fish, you would enjoy this recipe. Thanks Bev for a unique contribution.
