DH and I enjoyed this easy to prepare salmon dish from July 2008 Bon Appetit. We cheated and used anchovy paste instead of opening up a new tin of anchovies. It worked fine. We served the fish with grilled summer squash and zucchini, which was very complimentary.

Made for ZWT #7 and my team, Witchin Kitchen. This is a very nice way to serve salmon. I agree that there needs to be lots of Tabasco in the sauce. Also, since the sauce is rich and it makes quite a bit, I'd halve it next time. Thanks for posting.Reply
