Salmon with Chimichurri Sauce

Samon with Chimichurri Sauce

The idea of making salmon with chimichurri came to me a few days ago out of the blue and I thought it could be delicious. I remembered that when I lived in Colombia I had store bought chimichurri in the fridge most of the time. I would put it on all of my meats and even over white rice, but since I came to the United States I haven’t used it much, so guess what? Starting today, I will have homemade chimichurri in my fridge.

As I’ve mentioned in other posts, chimichurri is a traditional Argentinean herb sauce but there are other South American variations as well. For example, in Colombia, we add cilantro to the chimichurri. I hope you enjoy this salmon with Colombian chimichurri sauce!

Buen provecho!

    I’ve been wanting to make chimichurri sauce for over a year now and although I have bookmarked a couple of recipes to try, I have not made it yet. I think I will definitely make it as soon as I come back from our trip.

    What a wonderful idea to have chimichurri sauce on hand to give even the most simple dish a little something extra special! It’s a shame that the cilantro in my garden is all done for the season but that won’t stop me from trying Colombian chimichurri!
