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!

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!
