I made this tasty recipe for my sister last week. She is a huge seafood fan, so I am trying to cook a lot of the food that she likes while she is visiting. We both love salmon very much and I wanted to make something different and special for her and that is how this Salmon with Coconut-Saffron Sauce was born!
It was fantastic guys...the coconut and saffron together is a marriage made in heaven and the saffron gives this dish a beautiful color too.
Buen provecho!

I never leave reviews but felt the need to do so because this recipe is beyond a home run. I typically modify recipes but it's sheer perfection followed exactly as is. Simply stunning and that sauce is magical.

Hi Erica,
I made your recipe this weekend and it was a huge success. I tweaked it a little and thought you might like to hear about it. I didn't season the salmon with cumin, but just plain salt, pepper and olive oil. Instead of onions I used scallions and also added some peeled, chopped (big pieces) tomato. I also sprinkled some Italian parsley before serving.
Espectacular!!
Saludos!
Erica
