This recipe was delicious. I love salmon and the sauce to this is amazing.
Salmon with Sweet-and-Sour Pan Sauce
Sautéing the salmon in a little oil creates a beautiful crust. This sauce is thin but flavorful--perfect with salmon.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and 1 1/2 tablespoons sauce)
