My Husband Claims This Is The Best Salmon He’s Ever Had.

As soon as I slathered that chipotle brown sugar rub on the salmon, I knew that we were going to love it.

As if that buttery, flaky, smoky-sweet salmon wasn’t enough – add a little juicy, colorful salady salsa on top, and a garlicky aji verde on the bottom of the bowl for the green sauce lover in the family (ME), and we had a total showstopper meal that immediately earned a place in the “best salmon recipes” category for our family.

One of my daughters liked the salmon and green sauce (a win!), one of my daughters went back for seconds on the complete bowl, and both Bjork and I commented throughout the whole meal about how much we loved the flavors and textures.

(I realize this picture doesn’t look like much but I was just standing there eating that juicy orange salsa out of the bowl while waiting for the salmon to bake. For this batch, I had run the cabbage through the food processor. It’s SO yummy.)

The ingredient list looks a little long, but there’s a lot of overlapping ingredients. And it’s very straightforward:

• Bake the salmon.
• Blend the sauce.
• Toss the salsa (or salad? it’s kind of both).

Pile it all into the bowl, and feel like you’re in a restaurant. Hope you guys love this one. It’s just a vibrant bowl of freshness that I’ve been needing lately.
